Hanging out with the Beavers

I may not see a Great Blue Heron again any time soon so here's another pic. This one shows the beaver dam in the background, with the tell-tale teeth-marked sticks of the dam. The swamp and meadow habitats created by beavers are well-suited to the Heron's foraging and nesting.

Many thanks for dropping by.

I want to see a heron - wonderful catch! How close is this to your house Anne? I haven't had the time to go to the cottage and am missing all the photo opportunities.

The scenery is as nice as the bird. Wonderful shot.

You could post these beauties every day. I didn't know you had heron in your area, so this is very interesting as well as being a fabulous shot.
