A close-up of the feathers on the back of the head of a great blue heron, taken at Rest Lake in Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Ridgefield, Washington on January 1, 2011. Original: _MG_2103.cr2

With its back to me, a gentle breeze tussled the feathers atop its head, showing off the white strip of feathers they grow as adults.
