Morning guest at Town Creek - Great Blue Heron

By Linda Waggener

Right before the rain started, on this misty Saturday morning, a great Blue Heron swept past my window to the little Town Creek that flows through the yard.

He landed and marched to the pool that forms around the root formations under the ancient Catalpa tree, the giving tree, that has leaned a little closer to the bank on the opposite side of the creek while serving as a play place for the children and pets of East Fortune Street over the last half century.

He posed, quiet and still for a moment as he scanned the pool. Then he began a slow walk up the creek toward John and Missy Arnold's fence, gazing around as he moved ever so lightly.
