Field Notes

Habitat:

I found this specimen on a lake, in an environmental reserve of Atlantic Forest.

Notes:

In the video, the "Ardea alba" hunting. It makes interesting moves with the neck. I don't know say why it move the neck that way. But (in my "I-thinkism"), I suppose it's for to deceive the prey (along with the movements of the water and wind) or, for stretch and retract the neck.
