3. Yay, pics again! 😊

Is that a great blue heron in the last 2? I love them, they are so majestic! I even have a shirt with a heron on it:



P.S. I swear I do NOT get kickbacks from this company, but I recommend them highly. Great quality and a big selection, including lots of items with nature/outdoor themes. A little pricey, but they do have sales: https://www.lifeisgood.com/

(Next glitch, neighbor trimming hedge clipped a 'cable,' so no directv for a few!)

5. Near my house, next to the river, there is a spot where a Heron hangs out with a 'wake' of vultures.

(I had to look up the name of a flock of vultures).
I tried to get a photo yesterday so i could post it on DU, but they seem to think that taking a picture would steal their souls!
I'll try again another day!
