Eagle Pond: Heron Taking Flight

Flightier in large.
Urban alternative.

It had to be this heron...
The crows put on a funny show (in flight, and in cheek), but this heron's preening, scratching, quirkiness, curiosity (approaching a girl feeding geese), and peculiarity (making off with orange peel) made it the star of the show today.

Today's other pictures (mostly this curious heron) are on Flickr here (or right from here; Goosles right from here)
