I saw my old friend, the heron
For the past several years, I've seen a heron in the Jordan River. Most of the time, it is standing still, but I did see it walking once or twice. I didn't see the heron this past summer, and I wondered if it was still alive. Well, I saw it today. It was standing still in the general area that I've seen it in the past. It's feet were in the water. The air temperature was about 26 (F), and a 3-5 mph wind was blowing. I don't know how it kept warm. It did have its back facing the wind, and I guess that helped a bit.

For some reason I find this post very touching. I hope it was the same heron and not some impostor.
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope so too. I don't know the life-cycle of herons, so I don't know the probability of it being the same bird. In my mind it is the same bird.
