I'm new to NPN and PNWNP, and thought I'd weigh in with a photo from Monday afternoon. This heron was fishing at Fort Flagler State Park at the shoreline campground across from Port Townsend. The sun was nearly down, and I caught a flying sequence that included this shot of the heron sliding its toes across the surface of the water as it made its final approach to a new fishing spot.
You can get an impression of the technology transfer between nature and aeronautical engineering from the layering and positioning of the flight feathers.

Hi Norman and welcome to the forum!! Great Blue Herons are a favorite subject of mine and I love the capture you have here! Good composition leaving plenty of room in the image for the bird! My only nit would be to brighten this up just a bit.
