Caught it! I watched this fragile, delicate looking Great White Heron stoically stand at the water’s edge, ever diligent, undistracted by my presence, until it caught sight of it’s lunch (or snack?). I have only seen one such beautiful bird on this stretch of beach the past several years and wondered if it’s relatively small, thin, size was indication of a struggle to survive. I was surprised that it didn’t veer away from the water as I walked past. I watched as it purposely caught a small fish, probably a sardine.
