I found this heron in the typical hunched, inactive position on the shore of a pond in Florida.  They are nocturnal, flying to feed at night and roosting in trees during the day.

He treated me to a close-up look on the ground  in broad daylight.  He let me appreciate his beautiful coloring and bright red eyes in detail.   When he was tired of  me, he flew across the pond, treating  me with these images.
