One of my favorites. several years ago, before my firance died, I was home alone looking out the window from the LR when a huge, dark shadow came over the house. I looked outside at the pool/deck area. There was a huge, absolutely beautiful blue heron....was just thinking of osprey and big birds!!!!! this came to mind to share....he was huge. Flew over the house and it was so large it created a dark shadow over the entire living area. It sat on top of the pool house for ever, just ckg out the area, deciding if to or not take a swim, ck'd out the creek behind the house and seemed to be there just for me. The only time this happened. He was to me a gift from God, as I love these birds so. I naturally had no way to take a picture. It's forever in my mind. clear as day. thanks for the memory, @merpreb
bless you, elizabeth

Hi @ess77 there are so many beautiful birds for us to experience outside our window. Living in Florida allows us to see even more of them in the warmer climate. I too could not snap a picture of a blue heron I saw less than 5 feet behind me while I was trimming bushes. I was surprised it flew so quietly and close to me without being afraid of humans.
Just last week I had an egret in my backyard but I was not quick enough to take a picture of it. They indeed are very big and graceful birds. I hear their distinctive call sound everyday. I believe a neighbor across the street feeds all kinds of birds. I have set up a bird bath and hummingbird feeder in the front yard. I have also planted sunflowers for our feathered friends to feed on. Maybe now I will see more of them through my window.
