Must be spring

The big blue heron returned to the pond yesterday.

Spring is not far behind.

Crazy weather. 6.5 inches of rain.

River and Ditches overflow.

School cancelled.

Need some sunshine. 

Peace

Peace be to you this day.

Herons

 For some reason I am fascinated with herons,

they eat my gold fish in the Koi pond.

We have given up on Koi.

Just too expensive a fish food.

We now rely on free gold fish.

The birds are huge,

they land on the roof and

hop down to have a meal or two.

They must stand 4 ft tall.

A funny thing happen this spring.

A pair of barn swallows nested in the

wood duck box and when a heron landed to feed.

The swallows dive bombed the heron until

he flew away.

I think they kept him away enough that the

small koi pond was left alone.

Fun watching nature.
