Some Sort of Heron?

Click on the picture to see it large; then tell me what it is.I've never been a bird-watcher. I don't like collecting things in general, and have even less affinity for birds, which are--in my opinion--devoid of personality or sense of humor. But I have family and friends who love watching birds and identifying them.

So, for all of you, here's one I spotted in a tree above Garrison Creek while walking home from the university last Sunday.

As I was taking the picture, Policeman Flemmer pulled his squad car up across from me and hollered, "Hey, Ginger! With school starting and everything, aren't you a bit busy to be out taking pictures?"

I love living in a small town!

  1. A Great Blue Heron by the looks of it. I was taken back when I noticed my first heron in a tree just sitting there staring at me. I didn't know such a big bird could be comfortable on a small branch.
