Mr. Bill

Mr. Bill the Great Blue Heron


Great Blue Herons are plentiful where I live and I've seen them most of my life. This particular bird has adopted some friends of mine at their home in the sunny south. When I visited last spring I got this picture and a dozen more.

Up here in The-Not-Necessarily-The-Great-White North last summer, I stalked one with my camera for more than a week. Even going so far as to borrow a hunting blind and getting into it before dawn. No luck.

So I guess the moral of the story is, "You never know what will happen when you travel. You may get a very pleasant surprise!"

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
