Very nice pose, Chris. It all looks a bit blue, though.

How did it arrive so blue ??

[Chris Calohan]

It is a Great Blue Heron in mating plumage. They tend to be quite blue.

This is the raw file, same  bird, different pose.

They don't carry blue branches around with them to sit on, though, do they? Seriously, I realise it doesn't have "blue" in its name for no reason, but even the white features seem blue-tinted.

Great image, though I imagine the white balance could be a tad more yellow.
I'd play with it with highly cranked up saturation and then get saturation down again after the fact.
