A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) standing in the Silverdale Creek Wetlands (Mission, British Columbia) while a Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) looks on.
I made this photograph as a direct result of remembering an old Far Side comic. Do you remember which one? Answer here (April 16th post):

Too many to choose from, can't pick just one. It's like asking me which of my children I love the most. To save you from having to scan/photograph that yellowed, tattered Far Side cartoon from your lab door, lunchroom fridge, or cubicle, check out #GaryLarson's #TheFarSide website! He even has some newish (Nov 29, 2022) color cartoons! There are also sketchbooks and MERCH!! https://www.thefarside.com/
A farmer wants to know how many sheep he has in his field, so he asks his border collie to count them. The dog runs into the field, counts them, and runs back to the farmer.
The farmer asks, "How many sheep?"
The dog says, "40."
The farmer is surprised and says, "How can there be 40-- I only bought 38!"
The dog says, "I rounded them up."
