Fussy Bird


Did you ever think a bird could be so well fed that it would get picky about what fish it wanted to eat?  Neither did I until this particular day. This great blue heron, which I had come to recognize not so much by his look, since he looked like every other one, but by his territory, caught a fish one day as I watched and immediately let it go. I don't even recognize what type of fish it might be.  I have never seen one with such fancy fins except in a pet store.


You might say that I misinterpreted what I saw and the bird accidentally dropped it after catching it, but I watched the entire incident and the bird intentionally released it after catching it. Maybe, like Charlie, he was looking for tuna with good taste.
