I absolutely love these birds as they grace the area.
With a pterodactyl-like call during huge sweeping flight paths, patience in hunting, sadistic way it plays with its prey, its comfort in sunbathing with its wings out to the sides(making it look like arms out) facing the sun...
Also, to see two blue Herons fight is amazing. Imagine 2 practitioners of Praying Mantis kungfu and you can begin to see how they hop around each other, one parrying the other dodging and countering, single wing flaps producing elevated attacks all in proximity of each other. Very much like an orchestrated ballet.
I can see why, even during mute swan mating season and nesting period, they leave these blue kings well enough alone.
Well said!
How do you know they have a pterodactyl-like call? Have you heard one?
