the Great Blue Herons returned to their rookery on the Colorado River. Guess who showed up today?
Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias).
Bonus picture: Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica).
Double bonus pic: Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus).
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get all the birds to pose calmly and look in the same direction?!
