Heron Stalking in Shallow Rainy Waters in along a game trail in Minas Gerais

Heron Stalking in Shallow Rainy Waters

by Juanita Flowers

Cold silver dawn light bathes the shallow waters of a Minas Gerais game trail, reflecting the clear morning sky. A great blue heron stands motionless, its slate-gray feathers blending with the wet mud and reeds. Raindrops ripple the surface, distorting the reflection of the bird's long, dagger-like neck. The water is shallow enough to reveal submerged stones and tangled roots. Fine droplets rest on the heron's downy under-feathers, glistening in the pale light. The bird's yellow eye remains fixed on a specific point beneath the surface, its legs partially submerged in the murky water. One reflection of a distant tree branch breaks across the heron's chest feathers.
