December 6th we had a most rare and exciting sighting while trekking around Shelly Lake. Four great blue herons in one spot.
We were some distance away but I zoomed in...clicked quickly.
We walked to a cove just on the other side the the trees hoping for a closer view.
Two flew off.
Seeing one makes me smile
Seeing four makes me lucky
Seeing four makes me lucky

They have the most creative decorations for all holidays.
The Penguins are right at home in this adaptations their home
Look closely at the Nativity Scene Characters...do you see what I see?
Wise men and Joseph are all wearing masks.

What a cool pic of the herons!
ReplyDeleteoh my... so many herons.. that is a sign of good luck!!! and we love da lamb in da howly furmily... it makes is extra special ;O)
ReplyDeleteI wondered for a minute if the Three Kings were wearing face masks! Oh how this pandemic has seeped into the way we look at things...
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the FOUR herons.
Happy Nature Friday.
Cheers, Gail.
I thought the same until I realised it must be beards because Mary wasn't wearing one!
DeleteMy wondering about the masks, as well.
DeleteWe three kings of orient are
ReplyDeleteWearing masks all made from afar!!
The penguins in lollipop land!!
I don't know what I should be seeing in the Nativity. I see the lamb and the bear.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of the herons.
That is pretty cool to see four herons at once! We think we see the baby and he's not supposed to be born until Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sighting! So beautiful and graceful they are. And of course dad had to go ahead and ruin my reverie by saying all he sees in the picture is leaves that need to be raked up.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture on the 4 herons. I love their penguins and giant suckers.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cat to me too.
Your neighborhood is FULL of creative folks - always wonderfully kept yards but when there's a special occasion or holiday - they do a wonderful job with so much to see and enjoy. Love the masks in the Nativity scene.....
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
You are pretty dang lucky seeing the 4 GBH! I am clueless to what I should be seeing in the Nativity????
ReplyDeleteHow great to see 4 herons. We've only ever seen one at a time. Those are cute holiday decorations and we love the comic.
ReplyDeleteeven here in FL where herons are common sight, i have not seen 4 in one place. amazing. it looks like someone handmade the nativity. there yard looks good, like the penquins..
ReplyDeleteHerons are my fave bird. So lucky to have seen so many. Love the masked wisemen. Hey clearly are wise!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a heron in several weeks. They must have migrated south. There are still lots of geese, though! The wise men with masks are funny. In these days of covid, they wouldn't have even been allowed to visit!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lake shot. Love all the birds. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon made me laugh out loud. I love that comic strip.
The decorations are beautiful. Some folks are so crafty.

The masked Magi!?
ReplyDeleteI like the penguins in lollipop land.
Those 4 herons are amazing ! We have seen them flying in pairs but never more than that !
ReplyDeleteHow cool to see 4 herons like that! I really liked that funny and MOL on the masks!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. I love the nativity. I might put some masks on our wise men. :) XO
ReplyDeleteWow! I love seeing those herons together. We get a couple around here, but never four! And what a creative Nativity scene!
ReplyDeleteI am glad the manger is a COIVD safe zone.
ReplyDeleteYes, COVID seems to have changed most things. There were 4 herons...where are their masks?
