Green heron

[shac...@windstream.net]

Went out for a walk with my daughter around Alta Vista last night, along the stream at the north edge of town by the big LP tank across from the yard waste dump. Stumbled on a nesting Canada goose that a neighbor told me has nested there for years, and a green heron at the base of the dam-really not mugh of a dam, but there are some concrete pillars, the goose is nesting on top of the middle one, and the heron was walking the stream edge below. First green I've seen in years.
