Gbh - Late Season

[Hoey]

We have had this Great Blue Heron hanging around our yard, mostly around the dock area to feed since it was not froze over.  Last spotted on Sunday afternoon.  I am sure it has pushed on with the snow, wind, and drop in temps.

Have you seen it fly?

[Hoey]

Great question.  Yes - In the morning it would come over the tree tops across the street/hwy, loop around over the pond, then around the front of the house, loop around back, and eventually land.  When disturbed, it could easily lift off, fly.  

I was a little concerned that it was still around.  It sure seemed to be picking and plucking its feathers a lot.  Maybe a juvenile, a late bloomer?
