Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are

A close-up view of juvenile great blue heron hunting for Townsend's voles at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge

No no, little vole, stay hidden if you want to live to see the sun rise!

This whimsical portrait of a juvenile great blue heron on the hunt is my favorite picture from the Christmas break. I always love arriving early to Ridgefield and finding a good frost on the ground, although I didn’t have many of those opportunities during this warm winter.

If you’re wondering, the vole won this round.
