this is weird looking...the herons around my part of the world look more like the picture before this one
I've never seen a heron do that before either, or ever since. It's like it is holding up its wings and rubbing it's eyes. I had to sneak quietly through bushes to take this photo, and eventually it flew off. It's hard to get close to them. the later pictures are of the same bird on the other side of lake, but I am not sure.
