kbobam Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Got a nice 'prance' out of my big bird this weekend. Wish the water didn't look so yucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks! He made me work for it, which is to say that I had to make my jittery nervous self sit motionless for half an hour before he wasn't on 'alert' anymore. Well I like to think he was posing for me. The only good shots I have of him were taken on Sundays. The entire area is completely deserted, and without all the activity and noise that's here the rest of the week, we get a good one-on-one thing going.

Ric Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nice pic, Bob. The bird does look like it's posing for you - rewarding patience, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacyw Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 On the way to work today, I saw one fly over and land right at the top of a tree near my house. Very beautiful and uncommon to see one in a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Huh! Hadn't thought about it, but all the places I've seen him have definitely been at ground level. Never really thought about a name either. I tend to call critters "bird" "dog" and "cat". Also, my choices would be limited, since I have no idea if we're dealing with a he or she here. Does anyone know if the distinction is obvious with herons? Or does one have to be rather rude to find out? ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipocritter Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Both males & females of the Great Blue look the same. They have the same coloring and feather arraignment. The males are a little taller. I guess you'd have to lift up the skirt to know for sure if it was a hen or rooster. How about 'Harry the Heron' as a name for this handsome character.
