Heron

Blog 116 …
A lone heron nests away from its usual rough platforms of sticks commonly found in bushes or trees near water.  Perched on a limb by the swamp and marsh, it shakes off its downs after playfully wading in the shallow waters of Badin Lake.  It sits still and closely watches the water.  It must be time for hunting fish or frog that could feed a famished belly.  Soon, it will again stretch its neck and peruse the horizon.  It may choose to hold back its head against its body, flap its broad wings and let its legs trail loosely in majestic flight.  Watch closely and be awed!
