Today was warm and sunny. I usually begin my Friday with a short walk before doing the chores. I'm always happy to find a friend waiting for me at my first stop. The Green Heron had some news for me.
 
     
   
   
Hey Ang - you're in for a treat today.
   
     
   
     
It's your old friend - the American Bittern.
 
     
   
     
Yep, that's me all right. Howdy-do to you on this sunny morning.
   
     
   
     
Here's one of my favorite tricks, for your amusement.
  
     
   
     
Did you like it?
 
     
   
     
Here's another - my imitation of a flamingo on one leg, haha.
 
     
   
     
And I can make myself look scary too, see?
   
     
   
     
Are you scared? Say you're scared, okay?


     
   
     
Ummmm, okay pal - yep, I'm soooooooo scared - not.
 
     
   
     
I can make my neck really long too. Ooooga-boooga!
 
     
   
     
So where is everybody anyway?

     
   
     
They headed over to the big pond early this morning.
  
     
   
     
Well what are we waiting for! Let's boogie!
And off they flew.
