This little Green Heron was a clever one indeed. There was a swan with its cygnets leisurely paddling up the edge of the lake, picking at the algae and weeds along the edge. Just in front of them was the Green Heron lurking just a little bit ahead of the swans, hoping to catch anything that was stirred up by the oncoming swans. Evidently, these crafty creatures are some of the world’s few tool-using birds. They will often create fishing lures with bread crusts, insects and feathers, dropping them on the surface of the water to entice small fish (source: All About Birds).
