Great Blue Heron, Cardinal (fm), Clay-colored Sparrow, and a Song Sparrow

The Great Blue Heron flew from a pond up into the tree. He didn't stay very long. The female Cardinal stopped by long enough for a couple photos. The Clay-colored Sparrow is a new one for me. He bounced around in the bush long enough for me to capture a few images. The Song Sparrow was a poser, he offered me many photo ops.
