Morning Visit From a Green Heron

We had a green heron stop by early this morning.


I think I became interested in birds after seeing one of these and trying to figure out what it was.


Its fancy feathers and neck calisthenics were fascinating.


You see what I mean? I don't know if this is a green heron's version of the salute to the sun, or if there was a juicy bug flying over?


We have also had a really loud parrot doing fly bys in the morning, perhaps the green heron was trying to stare the parrot down. No one birdish seems to like that parrot - he is harried by other feathered folk all the time.


Hmm. The green heron looks a bit addle-pated here.


Sorry. Didn't mean to insult you.


Sorry! I mean it! Really!


I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.

(stop booing. I had to write that. Had. To.)


Oops.
