A Day In The Life.....

[disneydream06]

I just had Maggie out to do her duty, and I looked up and at first thought I saw some Canada geese.

Then I looked again, and No, it definitely wasn't geese.

Pretty sure I saw a small flock of Great Blue Heron.
Must have been 5-6 of them.
I have seen some in the past, but usually just 1-2 of them.
It was very cool to look up and see that many. :)

Not my photo...

When Russet and I got married, EIGHTEEN years ago in two months - wow!, we honeymooned on an island on Lake Eerie called Put-In Bay. Very nice B&B. Anyway, there was a restaurant at the marina and they had a large flock of Canadian geese recreating there.

Rochester, Mn has a lake that use to be kept heated in the Winter time by the power plant and they had a large flock of Canada geese that Wintered there.
The power plant is no more, so not many geese stick around any more.

Russet did some work at Fermilab when in grad school, where they have a linear particle accelerator (small version of CERN's gear) and a small atomic power pile.  They have a similar heated pond that is a very popular winter migration stopover.

I think the geese here stopped over and stayed. LOL......

How special to see a Great Blue Heron. I see local photos of them here from our parks but I have not seen one myself. That I know of at least!

Take Zilly out for a walk and you never know what you will come across. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True! It would be fun to go for a walk in the park today!

We have so many ducks and geese here, something else to see would be refreshing. :D

I saw some kind of eagle or something today, but it was too far up and away that I couldn't tell for sure what kind it was. It was just up there soaring around on the wind.

Cool! Those are fun to see flying around. We saw a blue heron yesterday, right after you did :)

Hugs, Helen
