Great Blue Herons migrate alone or in numbers and return here in early April. I saw this solitary heron on the water’s edge. With the water open it would find plenty to eat while it waited for its mates to arrive.

The early ones snag the best territory. I’ve seen nest cams of herons sitting on nests in late snowstorms. They are stalwart birds!

The earliest I’ve seen one was late March, when the water wasn’t completely open. I agree about their character.

I think that humans can learn about the value of patience from this beautiful bird. ❤️
