Alton Baker Park Lifeguard

It seems that this Great Blue Heron finds the no swimming sign a favorite place to hang out. I have seen it there on each of my last three visits to the park. I think it means the heron is Alton Baker Park's lifeguard and takes the job seriously.

Nikon 1 V2 ,Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6
1/800s f/5.3 at 141.3mm iso5000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

He looks kinda curmudgeonly. I bet the fish don't share your "lifeguard" opinion.

Love it! I am sure he doesn't obey the signs. V

Does HE wait an hour after eating before going in the water? ;-)

I imagine that this lifeguard doesn't demand a large salary either! ;)
This is a wonderful and funny capture Vern! VV

LOL One can only wonder what that creature is thinking.
Steve Thuman05-Feb-2015 19:26
Either he's the lifeguard or mad because he can't dive in or swim to catch fish, so he sits on the sign to drop little "presents" on it.

Somebody has to stay on the job since nobody seems to be taking care of the rusting signs. :-)

Nice image, Vern, although your lifeguard looks a tad "cranky" :)
