Look carefully, the bird with it’s head submerged is a Tricolor Heron. They are always around but not seen as much as the Great Blue Heron.
Thank you! I had no idea, and couldn’t get an idea of his size either.
But the REALLY important question is - do they like to go “fishing” in old pickle buckets, like their bigger cousins - ala “Yogi bear” and the pic-a-nic baskets ; }
Thanks again and take care :)
