Look at this creature. Is he not magnificent? This is a Great Blue Heron.
When I lived in Central Florida years ago, my stepdaughter gave one of the herons that used to hang around our apartment complex (it was on a pond) a piece of her tuna sandwich. After that, the heron and his mate used to come to our door every afternoon and bang on the door with their beaks. Their squawks sound approximately like a pile of china plates falling down and breaking on a stone floor.. My neighbors weren't best pleased.
This was taken in the Central Florida town of Sanford.
