Herons are typically quite skittish, but this one at Moss Landing, California, lingered longer than expected before taking off. Standing gracefully by the water’s edge, the bird remained calm and watchful, allowing for a rare, close glimpse of its elegant posture and subtle movements. The bird’s patience offered a rare chance to admire its elegant posture and delicate movements up close, making the moment feel even more special before it eventually spread its wings and soared away.
