"The Legend"

Juvenile Great Blue Heron.

In Native American lore the Heron embodies wisdom and patience. Supremely capable at fishing and hunting, the Iroquois felt that the sight of one before a hunt was a very good omen for success. The Heron appears in several Native American myths or stories showing how impressed the story tellers were with its importance and character.

I found this young example of Wisdom and patience On Alligator Alley at Circle B Bar Reserve. Polk County, Florida.
