Been there a few times when I lived in Lenoir. Beautiful place.

Took this, surprisingly enough, with an iPhoneX last week while lake canoeing in NH.
It's a Great Blue Heron I've spent a bit of time cultivating a trust level with, gliding up quiet as I can in my canoe.
I've found that if I aim my bow straight at the rock he's on I present a much less threatening profile as I glide in. Then, if i keep my hands inside the width of my body as I raise camera to to make an image, he doesn't see the contrast against the background if I'd put my arms out further, just the same outline.

Thank you. Fun challenge to recognize and befriend the same bird when out there.

I haven't had time to develop my "real" camera photos, but here's something from my phone camera.
