And he's quite funny to watch walking in the water...always looks like he's trying to sneak up on something, which indeed he is. He's not so chatty though. Indeed, I'm not even sure what he sounds like. But perhaps I just haven't been paying attention.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08423696800295940382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32203051.post-44175988736493708882008-09-06T13:22:00.000-07:002008-09-06T13:22:00.000-07:00Really good story again ,Carla!I like the picture!...Really good story again ,Carla!I like the picture!Steffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780074291143476485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32203051.post-69718887313398782892008-09-06T11:28:00.000-07:002008-09-06T11:28:00.000-07:00G'morning Carla.

Never known them to be fishermen, either...I've always seen them in fields. I do love the voices of the cranes...such a cacophonus laud.

He is lovely, isn't he? These birds are so large it really is something to see them take flight. Takes my breath away every time. And yes, he was fishing right then and there. There seems to be quite a few minnows near the shore and Hecktor is quite fond of them. So much fun to watch.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08423696800295940382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32203051.post-32098005747232264552008-09-05T19:11:00.000-07:002008-09-05T19:11:00.000-07:00And anyway, it's a DARN good story.

We bicycle across the Rose Lake Plain in North Idaho and see birds similar to this (maybe the same?) in flight. They are jaw dropping. Was he fishing right at the dock?JBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058881790600891805noreply@blogger.com
