Little Green Heron Sitting in a Tree, What a Very Fine Fellow Is He!

I happened on this green heron sitting in a tree near The Science Factory, in Alton Baker Park. I got a couple shots of him when a lady with some small children came walking by. I paused to tell them about the heron, and when they stopped he flew away. :(
Should I have not told them? Well, I would have got more pictures, but they wouldn't have seen it either.
(Yes, the green heron had red on it! SEE - http://tinyurl.com/pp8rjzm)

Hopefully the small children enjoyed the Heron as much as all of us. Who knows, maybe they'll develop an appreciation for birds thanks to you! :)
