Thanks, Michael, I could almost have
reached out and touched him/her.
A wonderful experience.

Proud looking guy, very well positioned and sharply imaged. Fooled me a bit, with colors similar to GBH..

Thanks everyone.
Yes, Peter, it is short for White Faced Heron.
If you look really closely,the bump just below the curve in its neck,
is it trying to swallow a fish.

Very nice, Elaine. They look quite similar to our Great Blue Herons
