Great Blue Heron hunkers down in the cold at Wesley Lake. Jan 16, 2018. By Jean Bredin, Blogfinger staff ©
Jean says,
“Hi Paul,
“Today I thought I would take a walk by Wesley Lake.
It was mostly frozen, in fact this person thought he’d venture
onto the ice.
“In the distance, I spotted a huge bird, sitting all alone in the middle of the Lake.
I was able to get a close up photo before it flew away.
I was told by a passerby, that it was a Great Blue Heron.
“She said, , it is ‘Good Fortune’ to see one!
Hopefully it will bring good luck to the Lake.”
Here are two BF post links regarding the Great Blue in Florida:

Wilbur, the great blue heron of the Grove, divides his time between Wesley & Fletcher Lake. He disappears during summer. Wish I knew where he goes. It is always a thrill to see him.
