Huge Heron Hops on Branch

I was walking along the beach a couple of days ago when this huge bird flapped right near m, and on to a branch of a nearby tree. It was a blue heron, and the branch actually bent under it's weight. We looked at each other, and he obviously thought he was in the superior high up position! Just to emphasize this, he released a very large poop almost onto me. Gorgeous bird, but not very nice manners.
