The Lake Riley Heron surveying his abode (10/16/11). |
I suppose this could be the same bird I photographed in mid-summer, an idea which is only anecdotal supported by my belief that this bird is longer, more full-bodied and, well, just "older" looking than the younger model seen at Cobbs Hill in July. In a weird sort of anthropomorphism, I suppose this bird is like a neighborhood kids senior citizens are vaguely aware of growing up and out of their parents house over the course of a lifetime. Only the heron's lifetime is much shorter and I am glad to see him (them?0 not moving out, just yet.
