I have been chasing down this heron for years! He's lived at Monument Valley Park, in either of the duck ponds, for quite a while now, and I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to get a picture of him. It seems like he always appears on the day that I don't have a camera at the ready. Well today I had one at the ready! I was at the park giving my new assistant, Allison, a crash course in photography, and whaddya know the heron made an appearance! I had just enough time to switch to a long lens and get a handful of exposures of him before he flew off.
I'm happy. I finally got a picture of the elusive Monument Valley Park heron. Stupid bird. Well he's actually very elegant, don't you think?

Herons are quite wonderful birds. Love the reflection in the photo.
There is a heron on the river Aire not far from where I live, see him quite often but have only caught him with camera once.
Yes he is! I like the way you caught his reflection as well.
You caught a beautiful picture of that elusive heron. I too love the reflection and the rocky shoreline.
We have a heron here that "fishes" in my dad's pond and eats all of his goldfish!
Congratulations! But are you sure it's the same heron and not his slow moving relative? At any rate, you captured a wonderful shot; I really like the reflection. Just perfect!
