Hunkered Down

While out shooting snow scenes yesterday I stumbled upon this Great Blue Heron that was not enjoying the day at all.  What with snow accumulating on its shoulder and back and standing in knee deep icy water hoping that the thin brown reeds afforded adequate cover to allow for a quiet afternoon.  Hunkered down and waiting it out, it had the human look of 'come on, enough is enough' or at least that's the way I read its expression.
