This was an amazing thing- a baby great blue heron right in our backyard! We have never had any of these birds come close to the house before. It was walking along picking up little frogs in the grass during an overcast, rainy holiday Monday. This year is a banner year for frogs. There are hundreds of them everywhere- we have walking paths all through the farm and you have to be careful in many areas because the path is loaded with them. Same problem when mowing. The parents are nesting in a tall tree at the north ravine this year-
