Spotted On Our Walk

 

For the first time ever, Sam and I spotted, not one, not two, but THREE herons on the canal Wednesday evening. Sam's nature app (eventually) identified them as 'Purple Herons' but since Sam was skeptical, we later looked it up on The Internets and it turns out, Purple Herons typically range from lower Asia into Africa(!). Since we live in the Good Ol' US of A©, we were thinking that maybe his free nature app was wrong.

Sure enough, further investigation revealed that what we spotted were Great Blue Herons, not Purple Herons (great or otherwise). 

This was just as Sam suspected. 

Me, being color blind, kept my opinions to myself.
