Today I was driving Charlie to the dog park in Mount Jackson when I decided to turn left onto the Red Banks Road. Some time ago, I saw a heron from the bridge there, and I thought maybe I would see it again. Sure enough, there it was!
Unfortunately, another driver had turned onto the bridge behind me so I could not pause to take a picture. I had to drive up the road to find a place to turn around and then go back. I was able to park and walk out on the bridge. The heron was still there.
I snapped a couple of pictures before he flew off.
I see there’s a calm area and a line in the foreground. It looks like the top of a dam, but I suspect it’s the remains of an old low-water bridge. The river is the North Fork of the Shenandoah.
The final picture shows the view upriver.
