“I’m watching you!”

This Night Heron spent some time watching me intently,

and then went back,

to catching crabs!

He caught a few,

and then hopped down,

and joined me on my picnic table.

I think he hoped I’d share my lunch.
Cheers to you & Happy Mother Earth Day from the people watching heron~

That bird is definitely a character! Wonderful photos!
So happy you enjoyed him & thanks for letting me know დ
And you didn’t feed such an attractive guest a bit of your lunch, Cindy? 🙂 –Curt
Nope. Not good for his figure!! 😉
I’m sure he thanked you. 🙂
დდ
These are all of the same bird? He looks so different with his neck all scrunched up!
Yes. Same bird. They have amazing snake like necks that they use to stab prey and then contract to look smaller. დ
I had no idea!
დდ
Oh, those eyes!
They are transfixing aren’t they! დ
He is handsome. I think he likes to talk to you.
Smiling….. it was more of a silent conversation on both parts!! 😉 😉
Cheers and happy Mother Earth Day to you, too, Cindy.
Grazie mille Pam დ
❤️🙏😘

Love how you captured this distinguished looking little gentleman, Cindy. From his smart looking feathers in those colours to that face haha! Cheers
Just seeing you name in the comments makes me happy დ
So beautiful.
I like how it looks at you in the first photo. Like an invitation to see the whole series.
Thank you for noticing. Looking wild birds in the eye is wonderful. დ
I like your new friend! How tall is this bird?
About 26 inches, give or take, and I am happy you like him დ
Wow! I love how you focus his/her eyes. Great captures, Cindy.
Thank you very much Amy. I love your photography დ
Cindy, thank you so much for these beautiful photographs!

Wow, you got up close and personal with this guy. Do you have “bird whisperer” on your resume?
Makes me smile…. I am pretty sure listing ‘Bird Whisperer,” on my resume, would eliminate me as a candidate. But if the birds were voting????
His stare must have been rather unnerving, but in the end, it looks like you made a friend…er lunch buddy?
Thank you Kathy. I think he was more like an expectant dinner guest, who didn’t get fed დ
Love the title! You really do capture the best photos of birds I will never see otherwise. Thank you.
Love to you Marlene, and be well my friend დ
You’re an excellent observer, Cindy! 💕
