Description
My favorite thing to do on weekend mornings in fall is to visit this lake and watch the sunrise. Can't wait to see the all colors again!
Widespread and familiar (though often called "crane"), the largest heron in North America. Often seen standing silently along inland rivers or lakeshores, or flying high overhead, with slow wingbeats, its head hunched back onto its shoulders. Highly adaptable, it thrives around all kinds of waters from subtropical mangrove swamps to desert rivers to the coastline of southern Alaska. With its variable diet it is able to spend the winter farther north than most herons, even in areas where most waters freeze. A form in southern Florida (called "Great White Heron") is slightly larger and entirely white.

How beautiful this is, Elizabeth. Love the fog over the water as the sun rises over this perfectly peaceful scene. L/F
