Fishing is at its best when the lake is shallow. So good, in fact, that these great predators, sated, eschew effort, surveying their realm from the treetops. Both evolutionary cousins (genus Ardea) choose perches near each other, on the very forest crown.
The Great Blue Heron looks in the direction of the Great Egret. The Great Egret practices egret yoga, slowly stretching one foot back for a renewing stretch. One foot or two, it keeps a comfortable perch.
BONUS from two days earlier: Great Egret shows how to catch a fish.
