Great Blues are like bald eagles -- they're easy to see but hard to photograph, because they seem to know that the camera is in the cabin out of easy reach whenever they pay a visit. These huge and ungainly birds are stately but slow fliers, primarily because they hold their necks in S-shapes and their legs out in the slipstream, creating lots of drag.

Looks like a heavy crop to me, but the result is not bad.
