The Injured
I am not really sure what is protruding from the neck of this Great Blue Heron, possibly something he tried to swallow. About a week later I saw this same bird in about the same place and the protrusion was still there. the bird seemed to look a little weaker and less active than he was at the time this photo was taken.
