The way this heron has his neck twisted around and scrunched into his body it's hard to believe he could be up to four feet tall. He can make himself pretty inconspicuous when he wants to.

This is the same Heron that is in the picture above just a few minutes later when I found out that this birds can be very unpredictable. He started to fly away, then all of a sudden he turned and flew directly over my head. I was so surprised I barely got the camera into position to take the picture. This was the last time I saw any Herons in this particular area for the rest of the year.
There he goes, off and away.
