Hide-and-seek - a photo on Flickriver

Hide-and-seek

A juvenile Yellow-crowned night-heron (nyctanassa violacea). I spotted the heron on the edge of some mangroves. As I approached slowly, the heron moved to the other side. We proceeded to play a snails-paced game of hide-and-seek. I would tip toe around a mangrove and the heron would quietly move away. This went on for some time until the heron thought this small dune/gully would provide an escape route, but it gave me an open shot with a patch of my favorite sea spinach as a bonus. (Other images with sea spinach used as background color: yellowlegs, reddish egret)
