Although the sunshine was the most notable part of Sunday’s walk at Belfair, the large number of Great Blue Herons’ standing around sunning themselves were pretty notable, too, particularly since the ducks continue to hide until the end of hunting season this weekend.
This heron had the good sense of blocking the wind from the Sound by standing behind a huge log while standing directly in the sunshine:
This heron was sunning, too, but started walking away after I spent a little too long focused on him.
I’m hoping that some of this sunshine will stick around until next week when hunting season ends and I can look forward to seeing more ducks.
