maybe he's learning about nesting? if I recall correctly male herons tend to be the ones who build the nest

Perhaps, there were no adults around this bird but I can only assume that is what it was doing.

Thanks. This was shot with a 400mm prime lens and it is a full frame shot. The bird was about 12 or 15 feet away. No real "zoom" on this one.
