Cheeky Great White Heron for Breakfast

keys_003, a photo by alans1948 on Flickr.

This one was hanging around at our breakfast digs last month at the Lorelei Restaurant in Islamorada on the Florida Keys. We saw him (her?) the first time we had breakfast there and of course I was wanting to get a nice picture of the animal. Since this one did not appear to be the least bit shy it was actually fairly easy to obtain a good photograph, at least when he was not directly facing the camera. When he was looking straight at me he was far to thin to register well as a photograph!
