I love herons and egrets.

Me too. Lovely examples of avian grace and beauty. :3

Wow this guy actually looks like he'd be incredibly soft to pet. I feel kinda bad for that to be my first instinct, lol. But still, this is one beautiful bird.

Agreed. He is actually quite soft. I know this because he jumped onto my camera bag a few minutes after this shot was taken and brushed past my arm. Apparently my camera bag looks a lot like the treat bag that the grubs come from. :3

Sunshine is good for the feathers, you know? Now where is my mai tai?

Gotta get your daily vitamin for that healthy shine, y'know? Have you tried this mango-ginger-agave beak rub? It's awesome... say, if you see the pool guy walking by with a big chilled half-coconut shell filled with blue pineapple rum and strawberry pieces, send him over to the cabana by the hot tub, would you? They've got a floating inflatable billiard table! Man, I love cruises...
