Photo Failure
It was doomed from the start. A hand-held zoom lens in the rain at dusk from the deck didn't have a chance. But I had to try - it was the first great blue heron of the spring, just standing out back.
And now I have something special to anticipate. Check out this post from Cindy at Woodsong, who writes
And if you REALLY want to be entertained, find a craft store that sells small white feathers- take them out in the field with you where Tree Swallows are numerous and hold them out so they’re visible to the birds. They’ll pick them up right from your hand. They’ll often fight over them, as white feathers are a favorite nesting material.
Our swallows haven't returned yet, but I am sure going out to buy white feathers this weekend.

Well, good luck in getting that Heron! They are quite skittish! Also, thanks for sharing the feather thing. That sounds like fun!
Hey, Paul - Thanks for stopping by. I'll let you know if I'm sucessful with herons or with feathers.
