On my way home from visiting a friend from Duluth, I saw few Mallards flew and landed in this community lake. Everyone will agree that Mallards are so popular everywhere, most people will not care much about them. I pulled over and just wanted to check around the lake to see if I have any luck finding something interesting. As soon as I took out my binos, I found 9 Ring-necked Ducks (post coming soon). They seemed relaxed and not in a hurry going anywhere. I started slowly walking towards the lake and in the mean time, warming up my camera. Not surprised, these shy ducks started swimming away as soon as they saw me coming. I decided to stay a bit longer and took out my mp3 player and started listening to my favorite song, a piano version of "Someone Like You" sent by my best friend :) Suddenly, a green bird landed in front of me. I wanted to scream, but I kept my cool and could not believe a beautiful Green Heron just touched down about 50 feet in front of me. I thought it's dinner time and I might see him catch his fish. But all he does was relaxing and preening his feathers for a good 20 minutes.
Admitting that I am not a patient person in any way, but when I learn to be patient, the reward for my calm demeanor is not money can buy. So now, I would like to share this Green Heron with all feather lovers like you! -- Happy Birding! -- Linda
