| Great Blue Heron at Attention |
The great blue heron was in its usual spot within a scramble of branches when I biked past Metson Lake yesterday, so I took a little break to watch from a park bench on the edge of the lake. I first noticed the fallen tree on 2/3/23, and only recently began to see the occasional heron in there. It appeared to be resting and preening for the most part, although it did briefly show interest in something that swam by near its feet. I also saw a heron back (after a long absence in the wake of the Feb. 4 wind storm) in one of the nesting trees at Blue Heron Lake on the way home.
