As a grasshopper you probably not aware Iquannas, being cold blooded, could only warm-up and not cool down? :)
I'm a Floridian and they do cool down :) when their body temperature gets to high. As in this case..the outside temp was in the 90's and the ground was sweltering. The swallow part of the lake is very warm and parts of his chest is regulating the heat from the warm sand. Thank you for noticing. :)
A great big "Thank you" to everyone. I actually loved the 2 bird pics also. :)
