The Stand Off - a photo on Flickriver

The Stand Off

            A Blue Heron looks like its at a stand off with someone on the Grand Avenue Overlook in Del Mar. 

I was wrapping up shooting Osprey near Del Mar when I saw this scene behind me as I was closing my tailgate, so I pulled my camera back out for one more shot. 

I have to say that the person standing there was thoughtful enough not to startle the Blue Heron, but eventually it was still to much for the bird and off it went.
