THE HERON
The heron displays
great skill in
catching fish. It
stands up spreading
its wings in an
umbrella shape above
its head. This
produces a shadow
and prevents
reflections from the
surface of the water. Now, the heron can clearly
see its prey under the surface of the water. The
wings of the bird form a circular shadow on the
water’s surface, and it always fishes inside this
circle.
