Great Blue Heron

As I've been driving by our pond, I've been playing a game of "peek-a-boo" with a juvenile great blue heron. Most of the time the blue heron wins because it takes off as soon as I see it. I know it will return as soon as I leave because it will fly to a tree a couple of hundred yards away and watch me.



Occasionally, later in the day, when the blue heron is hungry, it has to choose between staying and looking for its next meal or move on to the trees or next pond.
