@xaliforniazebra, @johnbishop , @jakedduck1 and alll...you Rey have an active creek. It must be a big creek to attract so many lovely creatures. I love them all and would get to that space often.
The blue heron is my favorite. Magnificent birds.
I have several feeders on my back patio that visit daily. I added feeders and a fountain during our long couple years hibernation....
Saved my sanity. That and the Mayo owls. Need to ck in with them today. I'll send update. Feeders get red headed woodpecker, downy and even a pleated now. Cardinal families, finch,, chickadees, finch, and more. I'm getting rats again and squirrel families. Love these friends, not rats..love they're personalities and visits.
Be well. Elizabeth
