The Blue Heron that’s been visiting our pond these passed couple of weeks keeps really still and blends with the plants near the water as it patiently waits for the right moment to feed. I used to have a hard time telling the difference between herons and cranes and egrets. I even know what an ibis is now. My little girl loves them all. One day I hope to hear her speak and say “bird”. Until then, I’ll be sure to provide the ideal habitat for her development and be as patient as the heron so as not to scare the words away from her lips. ~Despina
