Mama, I saw a great blue a few years ago. We were walking around a lake in a small preserve near here and saw him standing on the shore kitty korner to us. I had NO idea they were that big. I thought it was a man standing there. Can you imagine what their nests look like?

A friend of mine who lives a few blocks from me has a small waterfall and fish pond and she says the great blues eat her little goldfish.

My friend has a nest.....We watch the bird for quite a while.....Largest bird (Other than the turkeys ...saw seven today) was an Osprey that visited a couple of years ago....It almost cleaned my pond out of fish.

The turkey vultures can sometimes take a person back a bit, particularly when they fly over your car.....We have a roost (over a dozen) about a mile down the road.......
