Species principle: Poise
Stand until strike.
One clean strike is born from a long quiet body.
Great Blue Herons stand motionless in shallow water, then strike quickly with long necks and sharp bills to catch fish and other aquatic prey.
Species principle: Racket-Tail Poise
Swing and wait.
Waiting becomes powerful when the whole body knows why it is still.
Turquoise-browed Motmots perch quietly while hunting insects and small prey, often swinging their racket-tipped tails in a distinctive pendulum-like display.
