When I was working I would take my coffee, jump in the car and head down to the Harbour, A wildlife designated place. You never know what you'll see. One day I lust coasted the car up to a big culvert and was looking out the left window at a pond that fills up on high tide, a few Mallards, but when I looked out the right window, which was down all the way I looked into this ugly head with orange and black eyes. Scared the hell out of both of us and the squawk that came out of him/her forced me to step on the gas in short order. After twenty feet I stopped and went back to see how come the bird let me get that close. It was a Great Blue Heron, the tide was going out so all he had to do was watch the fish come out, open hi mouth and dinner was served so he was
Paying more attention to the fish and didn't hear me roll up beside. Still don't know who got the biggest scare, it or me.
BUT THOSE EYES AND SQUAWK, sure I laugh now
