That is one huge bird. Hard to believe they nest in the tops of trees, isn't it? We had one visit our pond recently, but actually walked down and encouraged it to leave - I'm not ready for him to gobble up my goldfish!
Thanks for sharing the lovely, sunset-y wildlife photos.
My name is Earl King and I live in a small town in the northern piedmont of North Carolina. I have been happily married for over forty years. We are located almost equal distance from Kerr Lake and Gaston Lake. Over the past twenty five or so years the area has had many people move into the area building nice homes on the lakes. We are basically an agricultural community, but fast becoming an antique center with many shops in our little town. I have lived here almost all of my life except for a short period when I helped build bridges in the Washington, D.C. area and a short period in the military. After finishing a thirty year career with the N.C. Department of Correction, rising through the ranks from a correctional officer to the rank of Superintendent III overseeing a staff of one hundred and fifty and four hundred medium custody inmates. I retired to enjoy my senior years, which I do each day the "Good Lord" gives me. I have always loved photography and assist local and state law enforcement photographing wrecks and crime scenes. I also work freelance for a local newspaper photographing sports events and other special events.
Stopped beside the road and took this photo as the crane was taking off from amid the cattails.

I love your heron pix today, DH! I wonder how wide that wingspan is.....
