Green Heron over the pond

Green Herons return each year and nest at a local park pond here in Georgetown, KY.

With the pandemic restrictions I've not been able to as closely monitor their activities as in years past, but got a chance to check in on them a couple of days ago, and they didn't disappoint!

This is one of the adults flying across the pond.

I was settled into LA for a few weeks in 1969, and would have stayed a while, but the army gave me a tour of South Korea instead. I liked California; the La Brea Tar Pits were just one highlight of my short stay in LA. lol


Here is a pic of one of the juvenile Green Herons at the pond, setting himself up for a tree landing:
