On the river, the crane herons were in groups, playing and singing, the envy of the eyes, the sky was all, only a wild goose flutter its wings alone, and did not have the heart to see the broken heart and the intestine.
Any of several usually white herons of the genera Bubulcus, Casmerodius, Egretta, and related genera, characteristically having long, showy, drooping plumes during the breeding season.
In some of the grainy pictures, scrubby and deserted patches of creosote and mesquite sway in a gentle wind; in others, herons peck at fish in the shallow trickle of the Rio Grande.
