Great Blue Heron
Before I report on this morning's hike, I'd like to share a photo of a Great Blue Heron that I took on March 24th here in Stoney Creek and forgot to post on this blog. Thought you might enjoy it.

It was in the high 20s and windy when I headed out here in Stoney Creek this morning for a 2.5 mile hike. I was rewarded with 35 avian species, which is very good for this resort community. I saw a Red-bellied Woodpecker with the reddest belly and breast that I have ever seen, and two of the drabbest colored Eastern Bluebirds I have ever seen.
