FREMONT, CA — Sundar Amartur shared this photo of a Great Blue Heron in Fremont. Sundar told Patch, "Pleasantly surprised to see the bird on Lake Elizabeth today. My first encounter in these parts. Looks like we will see more birds as the weather warms up."

We can only hope! It is remarkably peaceful watching herons and egrets hunting. The fish and frogs would probably disagree!

Thank you for sharing your photo, Sundar!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
