Yesterday, I saw the first large gray heron for the season, about two miles west of our home. Sorry, Cop Car, I'm not sure exactly which of the birds it was. I saw it as I was "on the fly" (sorry, couldn't resist...DH at work *G*), so I didn't get a close look. But where there's one, there may be others.
At least SOME ONE thinks it's spring!
Addition, later the same day.....
I checked the Sibley Field Guide to Birds, and it's likely I saw a Great Blue Heron. It was the appropriate size and coloring, and is the only heron listed that fits what I saw. Thank you, Nan, for the Sibley book for Christmas!
