I’ve documented the Tricorlored Heron Dance before, most recently just about a year ago. Today’s heron was in a pond that was draining on the opposite side of a small dike from last year’s post.

These herons go from standing completely still to few skips across the water.

This time he completely lifted off.

Then in a matter of seconds was stock still again.

The water was jumping with little fish that the heron seemed to be following but he didn’t make any selections.
