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?”

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.
