A juvenile Night Heron was the only bird of note on a short walk this afternoon. It's been snowing since I headed back a few hours ago with a lot forecast for the next few days. This bird had better think about heading south. Soon.

Well at least you got a shot of the Heron. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Margaret............
DeleteOne must wonder at times how many young birds die because they make the wrong choices about migrating - and other choices in their lives. I hadn't realised that they lived so far north.
ReplyDeleteThey breed neaby and there are a few hardy individuals which overwinter.....................
DeleteIt's looking very wintery (wintry ?) up there !
ReplyDeleteHi John, you can't see on these photos but there has been a LOT of snow this last few days............
DeleteWe sometimes get Black-crowned Night Herons here right up until the water freezes; juveniles especially seem more prone to linger.
ReplyDeleteI see both adults and juveniles..............but not many of either.
