Trial and error
I don’t want to confuse anyone, but I always refer to the youngsters as Great Brown Herons because they are still dressed in their juvenile colors and are not yet wearing those gray and blue tinted feathers that the adults wear. There were three of these youngsters on the bayou on this particular morning attempting to figure out just what is and what is not edible. I doubt they need the ruffage so that twig that this one has picked up will do nothing to satisfy its hunger. I’m guessing that it’s a steep learning curve for these juveniles and very puzzling. A pair of lost souls in the shallow area of Horsepen Bayou.
I guess that we could call this floundering around even though there are no flounders being caught.
