I ope that changes some time.<br /><br />Carol, I can tell from your lovely description that you have observed these birds.<br /><br />And Gretchen...I like how you remind me of what different affect they display in flight versus their elegant party strut... They are a the gala affair called life!<br /><br />Rosannah...it is interesting the symbolic meanings that birds and animals have in different cultural realms. <br /><br />Haddock...you and your family have certainly had some close shared space with bird family <br />life...what a great series of posts you wrote on the patio nest. Birds do need us to tread lightly, don't they? <br /><br />Thanks everyone for stopping by. I really enjoy your responses.Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115410908800997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-68445624240555521862011-03-04T07:21:15.058-08:002011-03-04T07:21:15.058-08:00Ha ha , like the last bit....nothing to see here.....Ha ha , like the last bit....nothing to see here...don't you have any people business to attend to?"<br />Its a pity that we watch them in awe and they do actually get disturbed.<br />Some times I wonder who is encroaching whose space....Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573906991666088642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-4569420577004880002011-02-09T13:32:15.130-08:002011-02-09T13:32:15.130-08:00You've reminded me that the heron is really ab...You've reminded me that the heron is really about some important business...these birds give the impression that they are just serenely enjoying the air, though at the same time they remind me of the most elegant aristocrats on display at a gala affair.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-84297948253620970452011-02-08T05:06:09.547-08:002011-02-08T05:06:09.547-08:00I am not sure the owners of the koi ponds in my ne...I am not sure the owners of the koi ponds in my neighborhood share your love of the heron, but as I told them, if you open a fish buffet what else would you expect?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361837738099549106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-47499688836844808392011-02-07T21:01:51.862-08:002011-02-07T21:01:51.862-08:00This must be the blue heron that used to constantl...This must be the blue heron that used to constantly sit on our Washington rooftop drooling as it watched our pond filled with fish! That's all it could do, "wishful thinking" since we have an electric wire strung around the pond to give that heron a mild reminder to stay out!<br /><br />The mud flats filled with edible goodies is just a mile away so we encouraged it hike on over there! <br /><br />HHHmmmm, maybe someone gave it a one way ticket to California! LOL<br /><br />Seriously, the herons are such a graceful bird. They won't dive into water to catch their food but they walk on in, only waist high, then wait patiently to spear their prey with their saber-like beaks.Carol.............https://www.blogger.com/profile/00830052294446316415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-83092224034620613702011-02-07T20:36:20.839-08:002011-02-07T20:36:20.839-08:00In all my many days, I have never seen a blue hero...In all my many days, I have never seen a blue heron . . . not even at my shopping center. :)<br /><br />Fondly,<br />GlendaGLENDA CHILDERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413897395818998532noreply@blogger.com
