I believe this is the first heron on ice I’ve ever seen. A lot of people could probably say that. LikeLiked by 2 people February 4, 2017 at 1:36 pm Reply
Hi Steve, we only see them on the frozen river every know and again and I don’t think I have seen on at all this winter. LikeLike February 5, 2017 at 5:21 pm Reply

Yes, thank you. Off to hike the woods today, there has been little snow so far, so everywhere is still accessible. I love that! LikeLike February 5, 2017 at 5:28 pm Reply
