Great Blue Heron

This is my variation of the classic Scotch spey pattern, the Grey Heron. Driving to work the other day, I came across a pair of roadkill blue herons and rescued them from an unceremonious funeral on the shoulder of the freeway. I nestled the pair together on the bank of a nearby river under the moon, where the gentle flow could be heard. They were a male and a female by the looks of it, possibly mowed down by some semi-truck as they were lifting up in flight at dawn off a nearby marsh. Here is my homage to the glorious bird, great fisher bird, the Great Blue Heron.
