Great Blue Herons Sleep in Trees

Woke up to find this Great Blue Heron had spent the cold night high in a pine tree in the Backyard. Got a few pictures of it in the classic heat-conserving position of a bird ball standing on one leg, but by the time I got to the video it was waking up and warming in the morning sun. Sleeping high in trees is much safer than sleeping on the ground where coyotes and bobcats etc. could get at it and also means they will catch the warm morning sun as soon as it rises.
