Blue Heron On Crystal Lake

An egret was the first bird shown in our “On Crystal Lake” series.

Walking home from the Lakeside Festival carnival on the night of June 24th, my sharp-eyed son said, “Dad! Look!”

He pointed to the outlet from Crystal Lake.

Since I had seen carp trying to get into Crystal Lake to spawn there and dead carp down stream earlier this month, I thought he might be pointing to a dead carp.

But, he wasn’t.

He has spotted a blue heron.

I didn’t get an excellent photograph of it, but I did get enough of an image for you to recognize it in flight.
