Do You See the Great Blue Heron?


After an appointment on Monday, I took my lunch to Shenandoah River State Park. I enjoyed getting a little sunshine there and walked down by the South Fork. I was hoping to see an eagle but spotted a heron instead.

Tonight as we were coming home, I spotted another great blue heron fishing in our community pond. I was surprised to see him out there after dark in the cold water. The air temperature was slightly below freezing!

    Linda,

    I thought Herons lived near the ocean. Am I right about that or not? We have seagulls in our area which seems odd to me but I guess the lakes around here keep these birds local. Have a joyful Christmas and may God's blessings be with you in the coming new year!
