Description
My husband and I had come out of Panera Bread back in July and I saw this. I commented on the "sculpture" thinking it was plastic. Then it moved...and I jumped back, startled. Of course I always carry my camera with me so I snapped a pic. For one, it was a odd place to see it and two, it was so close!
(i think it is a blue heron. if not, please educate me...thanks!!)
p.s. Willie...this is for you...not a cat :)

You took a great shot! It's so sharp and clear. Beautiful birds.

Hahahaha back at you. I'm now guessing that Panera bread is only place wildlife can survive with all those cats around. For those who don't understand this comment. I know Sandy (misskitty). She is a cat person, I'm a dog lover.

I just wish I could get close enough to get a photo of one of these magnificent Great Blue Herons. Wonderful!

Around here you have to stalk them and be really quiet just to get a long-distance shot! This is astonishing.

First I also thought it was a sculpture. When one sees the second time you look it, it is real and alive, always nice to feel that a camera at the right moment, beautiful picture*****

Sometimes a surprise is the best. There must be a school of fish nearby. The glass reflection may have tricked the heron to thinking it was water.

Unbelievably great shot!!!

Hmmm. . . The heron must have a thing for those cinnamon crunch bagels. He may have been waiting for a handout. :) Super great shot!!!!

Great shot. I often see these at my pond but I have never been able to get with a couple of hundred feet of them, lol. Lee

Astonishing indeed; I'd give my eyeteeth to get this close to one! Great shot!

great shot, I thought it was a statue at first as well, one smart bird hanging out in front of a bakery.
