The usual - and the unusual



I saw the Great Blue Heron in the top photo in the cove at the sailing school yesterday. It was acting in typical heron fashion, jabbing its beak into the water for fish, lifting its head to swallow, moving slowly around the cove. This morning, at the edge of the stream next to the marsh where the black ducks and cormorants are often seen resting, I spotted something different. When I got closer, it turned out to be a Great Blue Heron - in a sitting position (or would you call that kneeling??)! I have never seen one in that position - nor could I find a photo of one on the internet sitting like that.
