A visitor

To my surprise I saw something big flying in the backyard.

It was a heron landing on a rooftop.

Mostly you see them along the ditches, but with the cold and ice, they try the ponds in the backyards of the houses for a fish. Linking to "Saturday's Critters"

  1. How wonderful you caught a photo of him! I think he looks cold and would like to warm up inside.

  6. We regularly see a Heron eyeing out our garden pond - it is a wonder that we have any fish left.

  10. ...and probably most back yard ponds have fish. Smart birds. They must be able to see into the water when flying over.
