The Return of the Herons January 2, 2016

In December, just after the first rains of the season, I was met by a great blue heron upon my arrival at Pi.  How majestic and calm he was, just 15’ from my front door, and how long he had been absent!  The rain brought him back, my “wetlands” must have seemed inviting.

Today as I was working outside, I overheard some squawking and looked up to discover a heron and a red-tailed hawk fighting it out, perhaps over rights to a gopher both had sighted.  The hawk flew away, the heron remained.  I have no idea what might have happened to the gopher.
