Message of the Day – A Bird Posted on 08/04/2012 by Cal SkinnerAugust 4, 2012 Taking the back way home from CVS took us though Wedgewood, with its severely depleted wetlands. That’s where I saw this blue heron standing in the shallows. A crane and its reflection in the shallows of a wetland in Wedgewood Subdivision in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
