Got a call from mom this morning. She had spotted a "large gray bird" in a nearby spruce tree and wanted me to come over and identify it. No problem. The bird in questions was a Great Blue Heron and his or her pic is below.
In other news, went to the Island Pub with Amanda yesterday evening and had a great visit. She ran into an old Sitka high school buddy - a kid who we housed on several occasions. She went to the folk festival again last night and sampled the South Franklin nightlife - most of the bars have music these week. I think she's enjoying herself.
I cruised out North Douglas and walked the wetlands by Fish Creek this afternoon. Lots of birds - particularly ducks. Tons of mallards. A large flock of Barrow's Goldeneye. A pair of Common Mergansers. One Lesser Yellowlegs. A kingfisher. Quite a few tweetie birds were tweetin' but the lil' buggers were not cooperating with my photography plan. Better luck tomorrow...it's supposed to be nice all weekend.
Have a great weekend everybody.
