OK, not a heron either...

After getting some feedback from a blog-o-matic friend (I believe she said something like "thought it was a zebra hanging from a tree at first" :-), I decided that maybe the heron photo was better off in a venue where he would be more showy.

Instead, I offer this photo of a zebra.  I took this one in 2001 in the Ngala game preserve in South Africa.  Sorry.  He's *not* hanging from a tree.  :-)
