Blue Heron
A few weeks ago, sitting on my front deck, I noticed a large blueish/gray bird walking in our front yard. I had never seen one before so we looked it I and I believe it was a Blue Heron.
I tried to get closer to it to get a good picture with my phone but it took off before I could snap it. What a beautiful bird. |

Heron Here
A bold blue heron regularly visits our waterfront area at our location on East Bear Island. It ignores our dogs that race down to our dock to greet it. I have been able to stand nearby to watch it catch and gulp down small fish. 🐻

We see one regularly near the Loon Center as well.

When we first built our house many years ago, a blue heron used to come hunt in front of the house every morning. When I got up and it was still dark, he/she could see my shadow before I even before turned the kitchen light on, and flew away. Gradually it got used to me and eventually wouldn't even move when I went outside. It's funny how the wildlife gets used to you.

Four or five can be seen at one time at Copp's Pond (an outpost led-to by a poorly-marked trail off 109A) in Tuftonboro. :look: One was seen killed by a Bald Eagle in Florida—perhaps this heron's only predator. I'm accustomed to seeing these walking onto lawns at a Florida lake. When fishing is lean at the shoreline, they'll stalk the shrubbery near houses—grabbing lizards for a snack: also ducklings, snakes, frogs, and weasels (!) :eek: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...tely-bird.html |

Beautiful birds, though most of the time I don't notice them until they take flight!

This guy/gal was on a beach in Florida a few years back...you could approach really close before he got nervous...he was waiting for a fisherman to catch something for him and even did a little shoreline e dance for us! Stunning birds!

This was not an unusual summer-sight just above the dam where the November salmon stripping takes place in Melvin. Seem MUCH BIGGER when they fly!
