PUNCHMAGAZINE.COM 37 PERFECT SHOT big gulp After hearing other birders talk of a new visitor to the Sharon Park pond in Menlo Park, nature photographer Rick Morris decided to pay a social call. Though many seemed puzzled over who exactly this beguiling and befeathered newcomer was, Rick identified their guest as a juvenile green heron. “I had so much fun capturing images of this interesting little shorebird, and watching it hunt and gobble up fish, one after another,” he says.
