The well-coiffed heron

I can’t even imagine how those back feathers got pulled together into a “ponytail” like that, but it’s very stylish.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

You've captured quite an unusual POV on this Heron showing so much detail "back there".

What an extraordinary POV - he really looks quite comic with that hairdo :) Great catch V

Maybe something got tangled up in the feathers . We see sometimes some fishing gear get caught up in or around the beak. Good show, Helen !
