It’s a green heron. I had no idea they were “smart” birds. Not a smart fish, though.

Give a bird a fish, and he’s eat for a day. Give him a loaf of bread, and he’ll sit on the shore all day drinking beer.

Original Chinese Proverb:
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
New Proverb:
Give a man a welfare check, a cell phone, cash for his clunker, food stamps, section 8 housing, Medicaid, 100 weeks of unemployment checks, a 40-ounce malt liquor, needles, drugs, contraceptives, designer Air Jordan shoes and he will vote Democrat for a lifetime.

Some species are scary smart. The African honey guide bird has been known to guide people to bees nests, in order for it to get at exposed larvae when humans break them open for honey. From this it also learned to lure humans into contact with black mambas that might be threatening the bird’s nest, knowing humans would kill the snake if encountered. Nasty surprise for humans expecting to find a honey filled bees nest, but bumping into “Mr. No Shoulders” instead.

Fascinating. I think this qualifies as tool use, the mark of at least basic thought process. So much for pigeonholing (sorry) birds the into instinct-only category. Beautiful bird also.
Ever directly observed such a thing, Flycatcher?

That’s a Green Heron. They’re always around here, somewhere, but they tend to be secretive.
