Green Heron Sighting

Green herons are shy birds.  They are also really good at being camouflaged.  So being able to find one in the trees surrounding our creek is pretty tricky...and very rewarding once you see one!
 See the stick in the heron's beak?  They drop sticks in the water to lure fish or frogs to the surface, and then they swoop down and catch their dinner.  We never saw what this guy caught for his meal, but we were pretty excited to see him (her?) in hunting mode.
