Heron Is Back

[yourlibrarian]

We have a heron which is around during the summer. I haven't seen it during winter but it was around for a while hunting last week.

Wonderful! He really posed for you.

[yourlibrarian]

Haha, it was a very slow runway walk.

What a regal bird!

[yourlibrarian]

Quite a good sized one, for sure. We've never gotten close enough for a direct comparison but from the look of it, 5 ft seems likely.

Nice heron.

[yourlibrarian]

It's always neat to see it around, though I've never seen more than one.

Oh boy, it's big, isn't it?

[yourlibrarian]

Definitely!

I like the slightly messy feathers in front -- reminds me of a scarf casually tossed on.

Yes, I see what you mean.
