We are the quiet unnoticed Heron, inspiring Heroneers all over Planet Earth, as you encounter Heronkind for 1st or 1000th time. "Nature is reported in the fullness of life... To the full heart she is all but a figure of speech"-Thoreau www.everyheron.com

The heating helps bring to the surface hard to reach feather mites which it can pick off with its beak 🥢 It was probably gular fluttering as well... Vibrating its throat to pull in cool air to counter its decision to stand in the hottest sunniest spot in the pond. 🔥

Never seen this pose from a heron before. Not sure whether it's trying to sun the underside of its wings or letting air circulate in the heat.

A heron standing straight upright on a rock in the middle of a lake. The wings are extended, but only from the middle joint rather than the shoulder, and the outer wings are held forward and with the undersides out flat and facing upwards. It looks not unlike it's trying to carry a pair of trays.

Staring at a Heron staring at its Reflection staring at you staring at a Heron staring at its Reflection staring at you staring at a Heron staring at its Reflection staring at you 😵‍💫 Be careful out there... You can get drawn into the never-ending world #HeroneerTipOfTheDay

I stood for far too long looking at this heron looking at it's reflection. I thought it might be looking for fish to eat, but it just stared at itself as I stared right back at it...and that's when the attack came!

The Tiger Herons, Rufescent and Bare-throated, are some of the most ancient of the Heron lines and yet some of the most elegant. This a older juvenile, looking stunning. 1/3🧵

Our shared world's biggest Heron uses “Jackpot” strategy, ignoring all opportunities to eat smaller fish in a gamble to not disturb the water and catch the whoppers. It works: Most of their diet is 30cm+ (1') fish 🍽️ 🐳
