Lovely groves there! Spent a few years in Immokalee and North Miami.
Was out wade fishing in Immokalee one misty morning. A Great Blue Heron landed in the water a few feet from me. I guess neither of us saw each other clearly cause of the morning fog/mist. He waded right up behind me. We both saw each other almost eye to eye and startled each other. He spread his wings and let out a loud 'FRONNNNK'. I fell on my a$$ in the water :)
Very close -- Miami here ;-)
