A great white heron landed outside the office today and turned an otherwise gloomy day into a gem!Just above the heron's head is the Stirling Road approach to University Drive. Both roads are five lanes wide with speed limits of a "modest" 45 mph. Rarely do the cars actually drive 45; usually it's more like 65.
Yet, this elegant bird seems oblivious to the traffic jut above his head, looking intently for an opportunity to capture a little fish snack before the dinner hour!
And, this, dear readers, is why I love living here. I never know when I'll run into one of Nature's creatures right outside the door! What a delight this is for an animal lover like me!
