A Great Blue and A Majestic Hemlock

It was exciting to spy this Great Blue Heron high atop a Pennsylvania state tree, the Eastern Hemlock, in Cook Forest.

 Often called "William Penn Trees," trees of this size are often 300 years of age, dating to the era of William Penn, the first governor of "Penn's Woods."

A few critters from my field of view this week

Hen Turkey - Anyone who has ever taken a group of children anywhere understands the little guy in the back. There's always one.

 Rabbits have such alert eyes.

Great Blue Heron and its breakfast. The whole process was fascinating from the posture of the hunt to the after meal drink of water.

Green Heron - a first sighting for me.

Lucy - new real estate. There was a threat of rain so I dragged the cushions in. Next thing I knew . . .
