      Thanks for your kind words, I’m glad you like it. The first time I ever saw a green heron, it looked like this. It was a while before I saw one with a normal head of feathers.

      Oh I’m so glad you feel that way! Green herons are less classically “beautiful” than the great blues, but I have a soft spot for them. Thanks for your kind words.

      Glad you like it. I think if the heron is not channeling Don King, then maybe the Bride of Frankenstein, a la Madeleine Kahn in that wonderful film, “Young Frankenstein.” Thanks for commenting!

    OMG, s/he looks hysterical. The Phyllis Diller look, but you’re probably not old enough to remember her! 😀

      Au contraire, I definitely remember Phyllis Diller, and can’t believe I missed the comparison, good call! Glad you like the green heron, thanks for your great comment.

    This is great! I wonder if Don King got his hair styling tips from Mother Nature-
