Teen Great Blue Heron in Nest.

The photo features a Great Blue Heron taking flight from the top of a bush, its wings fully extended against a backdrop of bright blue sky interspersed with green leaves. The heron has a long, slender neck and a body primarily colored in shades of gray. Its wings are striking, with feathers displaying a gradient from silvery-gray to dark gray, bordered with reddish-brown at the edges. The wings are fully spread, emphasizing their size and structure. The heron's head has a tuft of feathers at the crown, and its beak is long, pointed, and yellow. The bird's piercing yellow eyes are visible, adding intensity to its expression. Green foliage of the bush surrounds the heron, providing a natural frame and creating a contrast with the gray and blue tones of the bird and sky. The branches are thin with small leaves. The background sky is clear and bright, allowing the heron to be the focal point. The lighting is natural and vibrant, enhancing the colors and texture of the feathers.
