See Ya Later

Today, I approached this heron head on. I usually have to sneak up on him so he doesn't take off before I'm ready. But today, I got with in 20 yards and he didn't move! I shot about 80 shots of him just standing there, but he wouldn't take off. I tried talking to him, making funny noises, asking him to fly and whistling. Nothin'! I finally raised my camera and monopod over my head. Well that did it. I was hoping he would take off sideways, so I could get a good angle, but he chose to fly completely away from me. Oh well, I'll get him again another time.
