Y’know how once you see something, you can’t unsee it?

This morning, on a run with a friend, we came upon a night heron hunkering near a kind of half-full swimming hole on our drought-thirsty greenbelt. And y’all, I swear to you, he looked EXACTLY like Statler from the Muppets.

Night Heron

Hunched as a Muppet
night heron looks skeptical,
demands the last word
