On the Ravenshoe Sideroad - south of Keswick

Photos by BarrytheBirder

The Great Blue Heron pictured above appeared in this space  on Wednesday of this week...two days ago.   The big bird was checking out a large arid piece of the Holland Marsh's northern reaches at the bottom of Lake Simcoe.   One could normally expect to find this heron in a marsh, or at the side of a stream, or on the edge of a lake or swamp.   Today, Friday, I photographed, in the same spot, what I believe is the same bird, despite the colour and lighting variations in the photos above and below.   What could possibly be the attraction of this spot for this bird, is beyond me.   Nevertheless, this bird seems attracted to the dry marsh in this particular spot.

Please comment if you wish.
