Hi everyone,
This is my first time to post anything but what I see on a regular basis at
work I think is worth sharing. On Route 50 near across from Pleasant Valley
Road is Dulles South Court. Public Storage built a climate controlled facility
with a pond out front. I have seen the following over the last week.
2 Mocking Birds (who play there regularly)
32 Canadian Geese (at one time on Tues. 8/10)
2 Grosbeak's (both very bright coloring)
2 Red Wing Blackbirds
1 Turkey Vulture (ewww disgusting looking up close)
2 Green Herons (they stop by almost everyday)
3 Great Blue Herons
Tonight as I got ready to leave about 6pm the Great Blue Heron was fishing
for dinner. We have turtles and fish (as well as a real algae problem) and the
Blue Heron must have stopped by for dinner. It is exciting that I was able to
watch at a close range the natural habits of the Heron. The one that stopped
by tonight seemed to be kind of small-does anyone know the weight or size of
an adult Great Blue Heron. If you would like to come by let me know.
