At breakfast recently as we were enjoying a cup of coffee and just relaxing, I spotted a large bird flying from the roof and into the pond in the back of our house.
I wasn’t sure at first if it was a turkey or a large hawk. We have seen turkeys flying over and also hawks that attack the red-winged blackbirds who nest inside the pond on the reeds. This time it was a Great Blue Heron! It was incredible!
I quickly grabbed our binoculars and adjusted them until I could see it up close and personal! It was even more unbelievably beautiful with its long neck and beak that it used to poke at the frogs and other things in the water. Wow! It was quite a treat!
Here are some photos for you to see this fabulous bird.
I think this photo above is good enough for a future book. Ideas are fermenting now as I write this. All photos on this site are Copyrighted!
It is always exciting to see new visitors to our backyard. We have seen deer, fox, turkeys, coyotes, snakes and great blue herons. I look forward to more interesting visitors to our backyard.
I hope you enjoyed hearing about our lastest visitor. Thank you for stopping by to read this post. Please feel free to come back again soon where something is always brewing at JEMSBOOKS!
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

How wonderful, Janice. Your photographs are lovely. I love birds.
Thank you, Robbie! I love seeing all kinds of birds in our backyard. I love them too!
Beautiful, love the pictures, love the Heron. we get occasionally one coming to our lake. I always love him and watching him/her how they are standing so still, then suddenly strike and eating, what it got. have a nice day
Thank you, Gigi! I love seeing them. This is only the second one we saw. Yes, they do strike fast. I saw that.
Beautiful bird! I see them sometimes at the pond on my daily walk.
It’s so exciting to see one. You are so lucky to see them more often than me. They are beautiful! Thanks for stopping by, Sharon.
