January 19, 2022: Great Blue Heron
Winter has settled in at the “Mill.” Ice has been forming on our lagoon, and only a few waterfowl are feeding in the small open areas. The Mallard Ducks have been foraging in the weeds along the shoreline. Perhaps some of you have noticed the Great Blue Heron walking around in the rocks.
Now we all know there are NO fish in our lagoon. So, what can that Great Blue be looking for?

I was lucky enough to see this bird in action. In addition to fish (and voles!), Great Blues eat mice, snakes, and chipmunks.
Happy Birding!
