Working on Padre Island has so many benefits. One is all the friends you get to meet, or scare off as did I today. I did manage to take a snapshot of him before he launched in to flight barking like a cat.
The pic's a little grainy cause I had zoomed in 4x on my dumb-phone trying to frame him a little better but spooked him off in the process.
I was surprised I managed to catch him in flight a he flew away. Grey herons are peculiar birds. I like watching them hunt being all stealth like and contorting their neck trying to hide from their prey.
So many time I'll see then standing around looking at me funny while I'm eating lunch like this guy I captured several months back.
Happy heron, hunting for handouts. Aren't we all? Hope you enjoyed.
