Awesome! I love herons, especially night herons.
This was from a long time ago, but it is a tree fern from Hawaii’s Big Island, tentatively Genus Cibotium.

A Bonelli’s Eagle, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/290340448, it was very annoying because the sun was right up in the air and I couldn’t get the colours…

Birds are ideal silhouettes candidates, but my favourite is the manta’s enormous silhouette passing above you:
And, of course, birds. What I like about birds, especially birds of prey, is that their silhouette is how often you encounter them when they soar high in the sky.

And a funny thing about birds is that a dove’s silhouette in flight looks a lot like a parrot’s silhouette in flight.
