Ah, the greenback heron has returned again in summer. I will presume it is the same one that's been here the past few years. As I do my regular circumnavigation swims around the moorage, when I'm in the backwater I try to move as unnoticeable as I can, as though I'm a log that happens to float upriver, just in case the greenback is around, so I don't scare it off. This year I have had a thrill--it has been on the shore and "walked" along upriver as I moved by, following me until it gets into a deep thicket and disappears from view. In this photo it is sitting on a walkway stringer outside my guest room window.
