I've watched them, and it's always amazing that they get airborne at all, but then they soar.
@bytebro @handmade_ghost Same! It's always quite startling because they're difficult to see when they stand still. It's made me jump out of my skin more than once, and a small child I was in charge of screamed so violently she almost fell in a canal
@fkamiah17 @bytebro They are such characters--capable both of epic awkwardness and beauty.
@handmade_ghost @bytebro Not sure how well "the heron did it!" would have washed with the parents though
@fkamiah17 I mean, you'd have to really sell them on how lucky it is to be chosen for soaking by the grace of a heron?
@handmade_ghost Look, I can be preeetty persuasive when I need to be, but I think this would fall comfortably outside my ability to explain.
