Birders,
There is nothing  special about me seeing a Great Blue Heron in my backyard-I 
have a creek.  Today, however, the subject was a little different.  The bird 
cruised the edge of the creek then moved back about 20' in the flat area which 
covers several springs that feed the creek.  He proceded to graze or pull up 
stuff from this ground-what I can't imagine.  In the spring and early summer 
this piece of ground resembles a south Louisiana yard with crawfish mounds all 
over the place.  I just wonder if this bird was finding crawfish with his long 
beak.  I have not noticed this behavior in the winter before today.
