>> Hope everyone has a chance to get a look at the bird. Good hunting!

>> I

>> into the trees. Saw one perch about 2 feet off the ground at the
>> highest,
>> as it sat there watching me through dense low-hanging branches.
>>
>> We also observed some odd Great Blue Heron behavior where 2 adult birds
>> approached each other in hunch back postures, with bills raised at an
>> angle and wings hanging down. The birds got within a few meters of each
>> other, then parted ways without any chasing or vocalizing (that we could
>> hear).
