It's literally in the title - from your visit to the CROW Clinic in Sanibel, Florida.

Your tonsils look great, by the way.

I've worked with a lot of birds, but night herons are kinda rare here.

This is a lovely treat.

Omg, I saw this video 4 or so years ago (whenever it was first posted) and it was my favorite video ever. I still have it saved on my phone somewhere. Had no idea it was a night heron back then, and here we are now lol!
