Jerry, Glad to hear you are seeing Green Herons in your area. How common are they to your part of Russell County? They are a rare bird here in Buchanan. Too bad you didn't have some of your Fourth of July bottle rockets ready when the "bomber with escorts" flew over. You could have added some realistically looking flak to the scene. okay, okay, just kidding.

I looked up and saw a Green Heron with 4 Chimney Swifts following along as if escorting. It reminded me of a fighter escort for a bomber. Jerry
