[CT Birds] Why do you leave rescuing herons to the experts?...

[Tim Antanaitis]

...because they'll try to stab you in your eye with their bill.  Down in Florida, my
friend and his father came across an injured Great Blue Heron.  With his father
driving and the heron in my friend's lap, the heron got its head loose and tried to
poke its bill into his eye.  Very luckily, the heron's bill was open a little and ended
up puncturing just above and below his eye.  So if you enjoy having vision as one of
your five (or six) senses, leave the herons for the experts.
