As they have done for many, many years, the green herons continue to seek food in our big pond. It is a wonder that the poor green frogs survive at all!! Diane photographed this handsome one. Diane and Helena were at the garden on a very hot day (humidex of about +43!), and report that in addition to the herons, catbirds were calling, and they saw common yellowthroat warbler, song sparrow, and american goldfinches.
