Waiting for a fish
On a recent walk around the Tellico Dam and Canal area, I took a few pictures of some herons patiently looking for lunch to swim past.
Mary is especially happy to see that we have many herons in our area, every time she sees one, she insists we stop and watch.. We see them everywhere around the lake with their graceful lines and patient demeanor.
There is a heron rookery on a small island near here called ,of all things, “Heron Island” and a local conservation group called WATeR is working to stop shoreline erosion there. This past spring, they identified 30 nesting sites on the island.
