I just snapped off a quick shot of this heron at a distance the other day and didn't think it was a very good photo, but then I just noticed the fish it caught sitting on the deck beside it. Now I can't help but wonder why it hadn't eaten the fish. Could it have been looking for a dinner companion? ;-)

Maybe he is waiting for the kids to come to get there and share.

I'm no bird expert (where is Will these days?) but it just doesn't look like a heron to me.

That may be because it isn't standing on one leg only?

On the docks in my neck of the woods it's know as a night walking dock pooper.
