Great Blue Heron

After eating its catch, the Heron continued to walk west along the river hunting. Soon the Buck posted to the right came to the river presumably for a drink. But they came to about the same spot in the river concurrently and neither knew what to do about the other. First they just looked at each other, then the Heron jumped and flew about 15 feet, scaring the deer in the process, which consequently withdrew into the vegetation. The Heron then resumed hunting and thus won bragging rights from the encounter.
