thankyou Don and Orchidea blue for the nice comments and also for the info, Orchidea. This heron was hiding that day, resting behind the bushes.

Most of the time these birds like hide and rest on one leg, I guess it's nature mysteries... good contrast in the 3 main colors.

Ciao

Very pretty Heron capture Alandra. I'm sure his other leg is OK, I have seen them on one leg a bunch of times. I don't know if they tuck one up to keep it warm or what? Anyone know for sure? Don

thanks for the lovely comments, Carol, happy you like it. I started wondrin' if there was something wrong with its other leg, but hopefully not.
