I watched this delightful Green Heron for the longest time, busily preening himself as he stood on the boardwalk railing.
He periodically protested against the stiff breeze ruffling his feathers, and then finally asked . . . .
“How do I look?”

Well said. Sweet post!📷
Thanks, Berny! Sometimes, just a few words in a post is all that’s needed.
Love the “bad hair day” look! Nice shots of a beautiful bird.
LOL. Glad you liked this fellow, Ellen. It really was amusing watching his feathers fly in all directions at the same time that he was trying to make himself even more handsome.
He is handsome.
I agree, Kathy. The Green Herons are almost always doing something interesting, and they’re very photogenic. 🙂
Wonderful shots. He’s a beauty!
Thank you – I’m happy that you enjoyed him. I always appreciate your comments and your visits so much, Belinda!
Beautiful shots that show this particular bird’s personality. 🙂
I really appreciate your comment… Yes… That’s exactly what I was hoping to capture, the bird’s delightful personality!
Put a smile on my face. Great pics and captions 👍😃
This green heron certainly put a smile on my face too, as I was watching him. And it did again, when I was putting this post together ;-D
What a beauty!
This bird really did seem to be working hard on his appearance! Made a good impression on me, too, Pam. 😊
Delightful pictures, indeed, of this beautiful bird!
Thanks, Tiny. And he is certainly a delightful bird with a delightful personality 😉
So beautifully captured. 🙂
It was a treat to watch this fellow keeping his balance against the wind. Thank you so much, Amy!
