I was also able to observe the Little Blue Heron this afternoon, between
1:15 and 2:00. At first it was quite a ways down the shore, but as I was
standing on the dock next to the boat ramp it flew in and began feeding on
small fish along the shoreline about 15-20 feet away! I uploaded a short
video to the MOU website.
