The Happy Dance

This afternoon we were watching a cute little tricolored heron actively fishing in the salt marsh. The tide was coming in and it was bringing tons of fish in with it.
At one point the skillful tri struck at the water and came up with a good size fish, bigger then most fish a small heron like this would normally catch. He was quite obviously thrilled with his catch as he proceeded to dance and prance around in the water proudly showing off his prize.
This was most certainly the appropriate moment to break out into his ‘happy dance’!
