Last summer when we were looking for houses to buy, I would drive around Maple Lake hoping something would be for sale. I would see the Great Blue Herring standing patiently by the lake waiting for something. Every time I came I saw the Herring, and I decided he would bring me luck. A house did become available for us, but by the time we moved in it was two weeks before Christmas. The Herring had left for warm regions. He came home this week, and was standing directly across from my driveway when I took this picture. I am just wild about him. He is still waiting for something, maybe I'll figure out what this summer. He is beautiful. He does not look so big in the picture, but his wing span is huge when he flies down the lake. I hope I can get some better pictures of him to show you soon.
That's very neat, Nellie! He will be fun to watch.
