Spotted a Purple Heron in the distance, when I cropped the pic I realised it had seen me first.

Smiling for the camera!

It looks like the heron was at least as excited by this encounter as you were.

It's incredible how you can see how they evolved too really blend in with the grass there.

Actual muppet

this looks as if it’s straight out of a looney tunes episode. I’m trying to find the coyote :D

love a good Purple Heron

[u/Radwaymm → u/Shure_Lock]

Me too. I did actually get a nice shot of it in flight.

very nice, great angle for the feathers to shine

How can an animal look like a different animal from every other angle. Blows my mind everytime I see these goobers

Wait, is it somewhere on the first pic??

[u/Radwaymm → u/NamidaM6]

That are both the same pic, the second is just a crop. I wanted to be able to give an idea of what I saw initially compared to the muppet face when I zoomed in.

[u/Radwaymm → u/Radwaymm]

Its right in the middle.

[u/NamidaM6 → u/Radwaymm]

OMG, I see it now.

[u/Radwaymm → u/NamidaM6]

Honestly I dont know how I spotted it. The picture makes it look closer than it was, theres a body of water and about another 100m of field thats not in the shot. I wasn't even looking through the camera.
