bird friend
This guy/girl has been hanging out on the dock outside of our trailer all day today. Not sure if it is a stork, a crane or what...?
Comments
What you've got there on the dock is, I believe, a Great Blue Heron. A stork looks a lot like Ed Sullivan, with the shoulders all hunched. A Sandhill Crane, for instance, seems to have a slightly larger head. Or maybe I'm just imagining that part. I'm pretty sure it's a Great Blue Heron. I think.

Take it from an Ohio Buckeye - that's a great blue Heron!

Take it from Aunt Jan! She knows her birds!!Now go ahead and let Curtis loose on your bird friend and lets see a good action shot! I bet he is dying to get over to that dock!

Do herons eat herrings?
Or is it a red herring to suggest that might be part of the blue herons diet?
