Shooter Grrl Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 What kind of bird is this anyways? I don't have to know what they are to appreciate them stopping by so that I can admire their beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlockSpeed31 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Looks to me like a Blue-Heron Crane. Popular here in GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yep, Blue Heron. They're "popular" here in Eugene, too. They love hanging out at rivers, ponds, local waterways where there are easy pickings. Great big things, they are. And awesome to see flapping overhead around the neighborhood just about every day. Huge wingspan.... graceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 They taste pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD45 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I see them quite a lot, and they are always alone. I can't remember ever seeing two together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Nice photo, Kath...Is photography another of you hobbies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Thanks Merlin. And no, it's not really a hobby. But since I got a digital camera for my birthday in June, it's really easy now to capture and share the little things that make my day I've taken, and shared, more pictures in the last 6 months than in the rest of my 30 something years! Not having to drop off and pay for film developing is a huge plus - LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Since they are seen everywhere, they are bound to get together sometime to make little Blue Herons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
