The Yellow-crowned Night Heron likes to eat crawfish and crabs. |
As I walked toward the shoreline at Burnet Bay, the Yellow-crowned Night Heron didn't take flight. It just looked at me. Its sweet head feathers were fascinators.
As I edged forward, I looked away. My theory at that moment: If we don't make eye contact, the heron won't dodge my approach.
I just wanted to grab a quick shot of my new friend with my point-and-shoot camera. No drama.
The shorebird turned its head my way when I lifted the camera, and I knew it was over. I backed away. Rejected again.
The heron seemed to ignore me as I retreated.
I guess it didn't like me that much. -- Lana b
