Rocking the Hop

Great White Egret: “Hmmm… Wonder what this rock hopping is like…

Well, let’s see…Up and away! Wheee…

Oh, what a landing! I like rock hopping!

But I see a bigger fish for the taking at the next stop. Off we go…”

Great Blue Heron: “Hey, Whitey Egret! Look at me! I’m rocking the log hop!”

Rock and Wind Fishing

Hopping from rock to rock to follow and catch fish is a favorite game of the Great Blue Heron.

Read Harvey’s story (BELOW):

Harvey: “Sorry, Teddy and Eddy White Egret; move back. This is my fishing rock.”

Harvey: “And I see ya, fish…

and I gotcha!

Yum! But, it is a bit windy…

today…Ooooop! A little help from my wings…

should…Oooops!…do…!…Where’s the — (oooohhhhh…that’s cold!) — rock?”

Fishing Lessons

Baby Heron (ABOVE): Hmmm… Mom said I could catch fish here.

Baby Heron (ABOVE): That can’t be a fish. Too big. Mom said I’d have to look under water.

Baby Heron (ABOVE): And these darn big, floppy wings are so awkward.

Baby Heron (ABOVE): Think I’ll take a walk. Mom-Mom. Mom!

Baby Heron (ABOVE): She must be kidding. The fish will jump into my mouth?
