I'm off - that nest needs a few more sticks, Great Blue Herons, Burro Creek AZ, March 28, 2011
Fuffy
What's with the fuffy beards? Most of heron pictures I'm getting show these long beard feathers, often puffed out in the presence of a mate. Is this a nesting display of some sort?

Words Get in the Way
Research shows that language suppresses visual memory, This is called verbal overshadowing and is a well-established phenomenon .... For example, in one study people watched a short videotape of a bank robbery, then spent twenty minutes doing something unrelated. Then one group spent five minutes writing down everything they could remember about the bank robber's face, while the other group did an unrelated task.
