We literally could not believe our eyes. We have seen many great blue herons in many different states and different countries in all the usual posing, wading, stalking positions and behaviors. Never ever have we seen one decide to take a nice swim in a pool and float around like a swan. He really seemed relaxed and we spoke to our guide who said it is not the first time. Since it does not have the ability to fly straight out of the water quickly as a duck it must feel very safe to do this. It used the ladder to get in but climbed out rather awkwardly clinging to the side with its large feet. It regained its glorious composure and magnificent appearance in the drying off process.
