We share our little creek with this Great Blue Heron we've named "Blue". He's a bit territorial, very loud at times, and intimidates our children for their bait....but he's a lot of fun to watch and we enjoy having him around. He must be getting used to us, because when I came out of the boat this morning he was sitting just a few feet away. He graciously allowed me to take a couple of photographs before he swooped over the creek to his favorite hunting spot. With his five foot wing span, it was quite a sight.
