We frequently stop at Herring Pond to see if there are any new birds that have migrated to the area. I had my binoculars and was scanning the waters when Phil said, “Oh look!” (Click on blog link for other photo.)

There was a Great Blue Heron about 20 feet away standing by the side of the parking lot. What a treat!

I was afraid to open the window as I might scare him away, so I clicked away through the car window… even with it drizzling outside.

Gorgeous bird, don’t you think?
