Great Blue Heron - "The Floor Exercise"

            It was First Light 7 Degrees the Heron Finally Makes His move towards another fishing hole - Wait what the heck is he doing, is he practicing for the balance beam walk or is he doing "Floor Exercise" - either way I Captured his pose think that he might have been injured at first be he was not.  Thought I should share this really cool pose with all my Flickr buddies - maybe some of you have seen this move before?
