A tall bird standing in shallow water seems obvious from a distance. Then it folds its neck, steps behind reeds, turns into glare, flies with slow wingbeats, or appears beside a similar long-legged bird that changes your sense of size. White birds look bright in sun and gray in shade. Gray birds become silhouettes. A small heron can seem large when alone, while a large heron can look compact when crouched and hunting.</p>
