Heron Thinks About a Vacation

[yourlibrarian]

We got our first snow of the season yesterday, and I don't think the heron much appreciated it. I can't remember ever seeing one late in the year -- probably because when the lakes freeze over it can't fish. So I imagine it will be heading off as there is more snow today.

I'm also surprised the snow shows up so clearly -- but they were pretty thick flakes.

Great photo. Yes, the heron has that 'I'm off now' look about it...

Neat.

Oh poor thing. Hope he has a good trip.

It feels so unusual to see a heron in the snow!! Hope it has a good trip to warmer lands.

Looking decidedly disgruntled, poor guy.

Wonderful photos! The poor heron looks so cold and miserable.

Och he looks miserable. Definitely dreaming of warmer climes.

That poor bird! Maybe he can peck through some ice.

Well played.

I had a flock of very confused blackbirds here last week. Months after they should have migrated.
