“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~

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

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????
