When I opened the door to get a better picture, the standoff between Blue the Cat and the big Blue Heron ended. Blue the Cat turned and gave me one of those looks of disgust as the huge bird took to the air (barely visible but there in the top right of the picture).

A standoff occurred between Blue the Cat, a bird hunter, vs a big Blue Heron trying to fish Columbia's Town Creek.
It was fascinating to watch the huge bird glide gracefully on its wide wingspan into the little Town Creek that flows across this acre. Settled, then letting the water settle, it begins to observe food possibilities.
Slowly Blue the Cat begins to creep into the picture - in full bird hunting mode - which slowed and then halted when he got close enough to realize the size of the Heron. For a moment they stared at each other, taking each other's measure. Comments | Permalink Older Photos
