Description

Acting like he wanted to play "King of the Hill" with his friends below, this Great Blue Heron had three treetops that he hopscotched from one to the other, like he was agitating his friends below to dare knock him off. He knocked off some blackbirds and one cormorant, but other herons refused to play.
