I had the luck to hang out with this cool blue heron while I was looking for manatees in this little cove- I was 20 feet away and we chilled for 30 minutes and it was such a cool birding experience!!! No manatees that day but we got lucky with that too- we were swimming in the Gulf of MEXICO and one swam 5 feet away from us!! Nature is the coolest :)
