Found this blue heron by the side of our little lake early the other morning. He continued to stand on one leg the whole time I was out there shooting. Herons are very fond of this little lake as there are many small fish for the catching.

Kathy, I don't know the reason why herons prefer to stand on one leg, so I had the hope that you would give in your narrative the solution.

But I don't complain (lol) because you have provided us with a beautiful, hard to take (herons are very shy) image.

Regards, Cornelius.

When I read your title, I didn't know what to expect. Of course...a Heron, nicely photographed I might add. Bravo!

I have been wondering all my life why birds and birds only find it easier to stand on one leg and even sleep like that ... LOL
Myself tried once or twice to relax like that but still do not fancy that. LOL
Fine birdie, Kathy dear.

And your title made me feel certain that I will see a colleague performing the operation following sniffing the bottom part of the tree... LOL
