ABC Wednesday—H is for "heron"

This great bearded heron looks a bit like a
grumpy old man in a gray overcoat, doesn't it?
The only one of its kind that we saw in the Galapagos,
this bird was strolling along a lava field on Isla 
Santiago (and like all the creatures we encountered, 
on land or in the sea, not the least bit bothered by us).
