If you live in Ohio, you know that we've been experiencing a rather mild winter. One hallmark of this mildness has been evident from the animal visitors we have seen already. Last week, we saw 6 mallard ducks pigging out under the bird feeders at New House around dusk one evening.
Today, I saw the first Great Blue Heron of the season! Enjoy these photos:
At about 1:20 - he was just hanging out - standing on one leg.
He did this for at least an hour.
By about 2:30, he was down in the creek grabbing up num-nums he found in the water.
He hung out in this area until around 3ish.
Then he started walking - following the creek to the south-east.
As he came into the clearing by the drain pipe, I got a close-up.
I think he's posing for me here!
As he kept walking, he went out of view.
Around 4:40 he was back - just hanging out again.
I checked again just after 5, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Thanks for visiting Mr. GBH! I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Lucky you, having this "dinosaur" right there. What a fine beast.
