Not the best of photos (I need a bigger lens!), but I was thrilled to see one of these herons come in wings spread wide for a sweeping landing in the marsh. I’ve never spotted more than one heron at a time. Perhaps they’re a mating pair?
On my return trip, passing the marsh again I saw the herons were still there, so I did another “drive-by” shot out the driver’s window.
It wasn’t until I got home that I realized what I thought was a log was actually a third heron.
Yup – it looks like I need my eyesight checked (or a bigger lens!). Just last week, on a foggy morning I stopped to photograph a moose. Turns out what I thought was a moose’s antlers was really the roots of a tree that had toppled over!
LOL about the “moose”! :O) We occasionally see a heron near the pond out back, but I’ve never seen more than one, let alone three!
Wow, that’s beautiful. Thank you.
Pretty photos…we have those herons fishin’ in the ditches on the side of the road. It is kind of bizarre to see them hanging out by the Circle K gas station doing their thing. But I guess they gotta go where the chow is. I just made an appointment for my eyes. I’m hoping to improve those “moose” sighting moments myself. You made me laugh!
I never see more than one at a time here either. Maybe it’s a young family?
