When we lived in Indiana our house's back yard was the retention pond. We often spent hours watching the Heron fish. They (there were two of them) were amazing at catching small fish! Have you ever seen a Heron?

I've seen them at zoos but never in the wild.

@DocAndersen That's so cool! As I'm getting older, I'm enjoying nature so much more. When I was younger I took things like that for granted plus I was always in a rush with 2 kids.

@simone10 i grew up with a father that couldn't be inside. Funny, he was a teacher. The minute class was over he was outside!

Yep--I've seen a couple of them behind/around my house--there's a creek behind me. Very cool birds. Unfortunately none of my photos came out very good.

We saw them in France and Ireland. Not sure if they were blue herons or not though.

Oh, yes, many times in Florida and in upstate New York at my brother and sister in law’s country home. They had a huge pond.
