The first time I saw a Great Blue Heron in a tree, I was amazed that the big bird didn't weigh down the branch. Then I learned how little they weigh. But that was long ago. I have seen them in trees many times, and also we have nesting trees here where the nests are huge. As you probably know the heron is one of my very favorite birds. I can't resist shooting pictures of them, even though I have quite a few. This one was near Kirk Pond.
