    Congratulations Grace!

    Just a little avian photography humor this evening. This heron had just dropped the crab and the crab assumed this threatening posture which worked as the bird moved on and the crab lived another day.

    Looks like the heron is pretending he isn't there -- worth a good grin. Congrats!!

    Thank you so much everyone. These birds are so much fun to photograph, given their rather odd appearance. They seem to have departed for this year so I'll look forward to next.
