Look who came to visit today and perched on the side of our pool! It's an immature juvenile green heron, a short-legged small heron. He stayed for over 3 hours. He was hanging with the mallards that have been visiting lately. (We're a couple of miles from the wetlands.) He finally flew up into a tree. When I tried to take pictures of him up there, he flew away. It was so cool. We've never had a heron before!
