This bird has been appearing in the field next to my apartment building the last few days. This morning it is perched on a tree next to my balcony. It's so close that I opened the sliding door very carefully as to not make too much noise.
I think it's a heron. It's still there as I write this. Perfectly still, like a statue.
It's a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias).
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. Good to know. I wish there was an app where you could point at a bird, flower or tree and have it identified immediately. I'm always wondering about these things.
