Birds of Kentucky: Great Blue Heron 2011-10-09 - Metcalfe County, KY - Photo by Johnnietta Jessie. Herons are spectacular and frequent sights around these parts, and can often be seen sidling up to the bait buckets of local fishermen. Point a camera in their direction, however, and they quickly become cranky and uncooperative, vacating even the best fishing spots with a tyrannic "rawwwk." Patience, perseverance and luck are key. Johnnietta writes, "Yayyyy! I finally got a picture of one. I have been trying for a long time. This was on a pond on Hwy. 1243 between Knob Lick and Center."
