Turn the car around

We were running errands today. I had my camera ready for hawks or anything interesting. We were almost in the city, when my husband spotted this Great Blue Heron in a field. We turned around and it was still there. It wasn't near any water. I read herons sometimes hunt voles and mice in fields. I guess I interrupted its hunting. :0)

Thank you for your kind comments on yesterday's Mockingbird and Cardinal pics!!! :0)
