Mount Pond: "Heron see, heron do"

More expansive in large.
Alternatives:
Mallard mischief
Heron coming in
Heron drinking

The sun kept hiding behind clouds, which made for varied photography, but the birds (at least) weren't being shy (inc. the Cayuga)... The heron came right over at one point, and the male mallards were harassing each other in all sorts of nonconsensual ways.
I got some amusing shots too: shaking, *sploosh*, staring, & sipping.
