We thank our Hostess Sandee at
Recently we had another wonderful winged sighting on our
cul de sac
a Great Blue Heron was strolling around
Wait just a few seconds on the video the Heron will appear coming from behind bushes
We have two good size lakes, Shelley Lake and Lake Lynn, within 2 or 3 miles of our neighborhood.
Not really sure why Mr. G.B. Heron decided made a rest stop but glad he did.
That’s really cool! Here are some fun facts about blue herons:

Despite their size they can fly as fast as 30 MPH.

a heron is the sign of good luck!! how great!
