The heron that lasts all day

On my walk to the bus stop yesterday morning I spied a blue heron in the concrete run off creek by Olbrich Park North.

I was quite surprised to find that it was still there when I was walking home from the bus stop in the evening. At least I assumed it was the same bird. It looked as if it had barely moved.

It was still there an hour or so later when I walked by to again catch a bus.

That's a beauty! Blue herons look so serene, so pensive. It was probably just wondering where all the fish were.

It was gone, however, by the time I returned a bit before 10 that night.
