A Local Great Blue Heron, Impressive!

Here is a Great Blue Heron that spotted when we were releasing our bullfrog. Actually, we see them quite often around these parts the last couple of four years or so. They're easy to identify when flying too, odd looking yet impressive to see such a larger bird flying with such ease.



Check out the size of this dudes foot, as well as his gullet - HUGH right! I can't see him getting stuck in the mud with those paws. He's no pelican but I bet he can fit some fairly large critters in that oesophagus!



Also, present in this pond was this beaver house. Looks like it might be an older one, with the grass growing on top but impressive just the same.



We need to take our canoe to this pond, so we can check it out more. Perhaps, this fall.
