Green Heron, out of it's element

Arastradero Preserve, Palo Alto, California

This heron and another reacted to a sky rocketing population of voles in the preserve by hunting them in the fields and along the trails. When I encountered the two herons on a trail they both flew to this telephone cable to check out the terrain. They then quickly flew to the middle of a field to take hawk-like positions on some elevated perches.
