A lousy picture, I know – but this is as good as it gets with my iPhone. And I really wanted to show you my new neighbor; a Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea).
The Grey Heron is a large grey heron having white and black accents, a white crown with black plumes, black belly and white thighs. You can read almost everything about it here –
sub rosa 
Cool! Your iPhone photo is pretty good. I have captured some rare bird sighting this week too, they’re not my neighbors since they’re nomadic, but glad they stopped by and visited my neck of the woods… Bohemian Waxwings. Got them up my current post.
Now your husband has a fishing buddy!
– or a serious competitor …
Birds are always difficult to photograph! I love herons.
