Its A Who From Whoville

A Blue Heron doing what it does best; fishing. It will stand for the longest time perfectly still till food comes along. At other times I have seen them wade the shoreline and do some spear fishing. I called it a Who because the wind had blown its head plumage backwards towards its beak.

His

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I think it is about ready to pick a fight or do something else to one of the branches, Frank. Maybe its eyesight is off somewhat.
One of the better Heron shots I have seen with the matching branches.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Looks funny with the hair blowing from behind. Very nice capture of the heron Frank. Looks a bit like your Icon /(Avie).

Herons are such graceful birds, & patient hunters, we can clearly see the effect of the wind here. A lovely shot, very well done Frank.
