I hadn't ever seen a
Great Blue Heron until just a few years ago. We were driving along a country road nearby and all of a sudden a huge, winged creature arose out of a small pond area! It was so unexpected and unfamiliar that I was in awe; totally amazed and fascinated to think that such a large bird could be found in our area. I had never seen a heron

during all my years of growing up along our river but in recent years they have now become frequent and familiar sightings.
I think they are magnificant birds! With a wing span of about 70"
(more, or less), I never fail to be fascinated when I see one of these huge creatures take off in flight.
