From one of our web community members, Jim Dubois, comes this highly enjoyable picture series of a great blue heron deciding it’s time to go. From Jim:

Every wild animal (including people) has a comfort zone of personal space, and when you get too close, they either attack or, most often, flee. I’d been about five minutes working my way down the beach a little at a time, when I finally crossed the line with this guy. He was off, and let me know in no uncertain terms that he was less than pleased.

Thanks for sharing Jim! You can see more of Jim’s photos here.
