Not A Heron This Time


The pond was our final destination of a late afternoon farm ATV drive-around.

Feeding the catfish was the last chore of the day.

As we neared the pond, Glenn was ahead of me.  He stopped on the dam and motioned me to look toward the pond dock.

A magnificent Kingfisher was resting on a bench post.
 
 
 

I tried to sneak up closer which on a loud and noisy ATV is not an easy task.

The Kingfisher stayed for several minutes before we proceeded closer to the dock.  She flew off into the nearby tree and watched us from her ‘safe’ distance.


A fair trade…wouldn’t you agree?
