The Little Blue heron at Turtle Lake Park was in a very obliging mood
this past couple of hours. Initially, at around 2:30, he was feeding
by the private docks to the north (right) of the public boat launch at
the end of the beach, with a Great Egret nearby for handy size
comparison. By the time I returned from fetching the scope out of the
car, he had come to the boat launch, up onto the dock that's right
beside the ramp, rendering a scope totally unnecessary. He spent at
least 20 minutes there, preening and peering into the water, with all
distinguishing field marks clearly visible. He returned briefly to the
private beach on the north, then flew southward along the shore to
perch on the private docks to the south of the beach, where a Great
Blue heron had parked itself on one of the boats.
Also present, in the middle of the lake, was one Forster's tern,
conveniently close to a much larger Caspian.
