Heron - a photo on Flickriver

Heron

            When I look at a heron, especially in flight, I can see where these birds have descended from dinosaurs, and their call is even more so, sounding like something from Jurassic Park, especially on a still winters morning when all sound (or what little of it) seems amplified as it falls upon the ear through the early morning mist.
