We spotted this Green Heron a week or so back in the exact same spot. He dramatically departed, and I honestly didn't expect to see another one this year. Well, surprise! The heron is back and clearly running the place.

I just had to share this photo! Teresa captured it on her new camera, and honestly, it’s outstanding. I mean, just look at this Great Blue Heron—it’s absolutely gorgeous. (And clearly ready for its close-up!

This is a bit different. We were heading home, and as we approached a pond just off the road, I slowed down to see if any wildlife was hanging out. It’s not often we spot something, but I was surprised to see a great blue heron tucked behind a bush. She wasn't very visible, but I stopped the car and was able to capture this photo. Very cool.

This is the other heron that graces our area during the summer. I was beginning to think I wouldn't capture one this year, but then, there she was. What a stunning Green Heron!

I’m not entirely sure what’s happening here, but it looks like a very serious board meeting. The Great Blue Heron is clearly the CEO, standing tall and trying to maintain some semblance of order. Meanwhile, the Canada Geese are the unruly department heads, probably arguing about who gets the last of the breadcrumbs. I just hope they reach a consensus before the heron loses its patience!
