- The first few times I saw these guys flying out of the corner of my
- eye, I realized where the legends of goblins and flying evil beasties
- (half-man, half-some sorta animal) might have sprung from. The herons
- flying look exactly like a person flying with their legs hanging down.
- They are proportioned like a person and so it is spooky to watch them
- sometimes fly.
