“You Can Look But You Can’t Touch!”
I saw this great egret pluck a nice fish out of the salt marsh recently and the bird turned toward me and seemed to be proudly showing off it’s catch right before he swallowed the fish.
But the egret also appeared to be making it clear that this was his fish, he caught it, and he was keeping it. I would be permitted to look at and admire the catch, but don’t get any thoughts of trying to take it.
I, of course, would never consider such a thing!
