Urban Flamingo


This lovely Great Blue Heron perches just outside our bedroom window, about 50 feet up this conifer. Yesterday he stayed well into the day, perhaps content with the knowledge that he was
a. beautiful (the humans at our residence want nothing more than to gawk) and
b. freaking huge! His wingspan must be at least six feet long. This guy could take the raccoon (living in the next tree over, as verified in previous posts) head on. We hope that he doesn't, but instead continues to make his home in direct view of ours.
