Is This Better?



After yesterdays post of the Beetle bug, today this Great Blue Heron came walking onto my deck and then onto the railing.. These birds are beautiful, very tall,  and with spindly legs that  look like grasses when they stand in the water.
   Gee, I used to have legs like that when I was a kid.. but their knees go back when they walk. They'll wait patiently forever staying very still until a poor unsuspecting small fish comes along. The last photo he is standing on my deck railing.

  3. How wonderful! When I surprised one of these on a hike at work, it flew off across the lake and uttered a sound right out of the horror movies, haha. I think it's call is the one used in all those old movies with pterodactyls flying in them.

  6. Great photos. Wow right on your deck. You mentioned alligators in your backyard. I can see why now. Do they really come up in your yard?!!! OMG that would scare me...... I have only had one Blue Heron visit this summer and he looked very thin. We had such a rough winter I fear we lost some.
