Sighting! It’s a Great Blue Heron!
I was taking the dogs out for their walk this evening, and suddenly a great big shadow hovered over us. I turned to the direction it was heading, and I saw this big crane-like bird land on the grass just in front of the children’s playground. From my memory of pictures I figured it was the Blue Heron, and now after looking up on it, it turned out to be the Great Blue Heron. We were pretty close to it, but I didn’t have my camera with me, so I went back, took my camera, and zoomed in on this guy, which explains the grainy picture, it was taken from across the street. Maybe this big guy is lost, but maybe he’s just doing a stop over from Shoreline, I’m really glad I got to “meet” him.
