I’m Not Sure What Got Into Him
Late this afternoon I was watching a great blue heron relaxing along the edge of the salt marsh. I never saw him go in to fish, he just seemed to be soaking up the sunshine alligator style.
Suddenly he got this odd look on his face, twisted around, stretched out and squawked loudly. Then he got himself all fluffed up and that was it. Demonstration over. Mr. A was floating around in the water nearby but he was there all day and the heron never seemed to care.
So I’m not at all sure what brought all this on.

Perhaps something bit him on the butt?
He sure looks like something bit him on the butt, but… you never know with these guys. 🙂
Fabulous shots, love the expression you where able to capture.
These are probably my favorite bird, they are always up to something and can be surprising in their behavior.
What an extraordinary series of photographs! He is amazingly beautiful. One of my favorite birds. You have captured such personality and beauty!
Ya, you gotta love these guys. Also one of my all time favorite birds, they never fail to entertain.
Beautiful pictures of heron! I also enjoy observing them, sometimes they’re quite brave and really don’t mind staring at them 😀
These herons are certainly one of my all time favorites. You never know what one might do next. They are quite interesting and often entertaining. 🙂
I totally agree with you! 🙂
Have a nice weekend!
Thea says when you look as beautiful as that, do you need a reason?
