Nice close up, he looks cold! #11529989

Shirley D. Freeman October 24, 2016

Thank you, Claudia. This was taken early morning in August, so I don't think he was cold! I noticed other photos I took of this type of heron seemed to look like that too, so I think it is just a position that is natural to them. <>< #11529992
