The highlight of the day was seeing a heron at the lake! It is a large bird which is very impressive when in flight. A bit less so at rest as he blends in with the background. It was interesting to see him startle some ducks who were quietly floating about but then get scared away himself by the tinest squirrel who brazenly trotted up to him. I managed to catch one photo of him as he took flight. At first I found his profile in flight confusing. I was not sure what was his beek and what were his feet. His reflection in the water looks unreal but I did not touch up the photo at all…
