This one, seen at Lake Cuitzeo in central Mexico, makes me think of a giraffe wearing a tuxedo: Now, most of the time this middling photographer can only hope to get a clear photo of a bird, not too far away, and at a good angle. One heron had the good sense to abandon his quest quickly. No, these are not time-lapse photographs.

This is also why you very rarely find a photo of a giraffe on top of one of these posts – the other reason of course being that a giraffe photo would be relatively pointless in a birding blog. One of these photos would almost certainly have made the cover of this post if the design did not require a more horizontal format.
