As it was getting later in the evening we were driving around pretty quickly to see more of the park.  I was driving with my window open and my cameras in my lap, when I noticed this blue heron flying in our direction.  I swung my camera out the window found and tracked the heron and was able to get off two shots before I hit my arm on the edge of the window.  I was surprised that either of the pictures turned out at all considering the angle I was at.  Both were a little soft at 100% due to camera shake, but I still liked the golden lighting and I think it works okay.

This is about a 10 megapixel crop of the original.

I was trying to get close to some of the shore birds when I noticed this blue heron flying towards us.  Luckily it decided to come and land in the pond we were standing by.  This was the first picture I took, and I got several nice shots of it as it came in for the landing.
