mind game

This great blue heron was in San Diego Zoo, but not a zoo resident. He/she was grooming on a street lamp. At the water bird section of the Zoo (which is open to the space outside), I often spot non-residents sneaking in, enjoying free meals. And it is easy to distinguish them as they still exhibit strong hunting behavior while others just lazily standing around.
