Great Blue Heron

[Wayne Wathen]

Not a super rare bird but on my cool run (not like today) at Cherry Creek State Park, I did observe a Great Blue Heron in the creek south of the main park road near where a bridge crosses over the Cherry Creek.  It was sort of protected from the wind there but it surprised me.

  

Happy Valentine's Day.

I have seen Great Blue Herons perched over a frozen pond a few times and at another knee deep in the frozen river along the South Platte River. It's always neat to see. They are surprisingly tough birds.
