If you look closely, you will see that Hector has vertical eyelids and blinks vertically. I wonder if this is to protect his eyes from the bright light and salt water?
"The Great Blue heron relies on stealth and lightning quick reactions to catch its dinner – along with amazing eyesight. Its eyesight is about three times more detailed than ours, and its binocular vision gives it very good depth perception. It also has a built in “zoom lens” – allowing the bird to switch instantaneously between telescopic and macro vision (probably as good or better than our fanciest modern camera lenses)." Wikipedia

Great image. With his eyes closed, I wonder what he's dreaming about?
