Went camping this weekend and grabbed a few bird photos at Jordan Lake Park in New Hill, N.C. and Forest Lake Campground in Lexington N.C. Although they are quite common, Great Blue Herons are still one of my favorite birds to watch around here. They’re quite the impressive sight soaring over the dam. With a wingspan of nearly 6ft, they look positively pterodactyl-like when airborne, haha! 🌿 What’s your favorite “common” bird that still brings a smile to your face whenever you see one? 🌿 3D Photo by @sally_siko Canon 5DS 200mm . . . . #birdnerd #birdsofinsta #birdsofinstagram #ncwildlife #birding #birdwatching #birdingnc #bird #birds #jordanlake #ncbirding #ncbirds #ncbirdwatching #canon #canon5ds #greatblueheron #greatblueheron #birdsin3D #eastcoastbirding #hiking #nchiking #ncoutdoors #ncnature #silvercordeventphotography #silvercordphotodaily #3dphoto #ncwildlifephotographer #naturelovers #birdwatchingnc #northcarolinabirds
