But at 8am we pulled up to the Home Depot, I jumped out, ran across the softball fields to the creek and there, just as it should be, was the bird feeding a mere 30 feet off shore. After so much heartache on my previous two attempts to see this bird (three if you count last year's attempt in New Hampshire), you'd think I'd savor the moment. But no, I ran back to the car to get my three kids. We ran back to the creek, where the bird had moved off about 50 yards, and we all got looks through the scope and binoculars. My kids are for sure my lucky charm, as I rarely dip on a bird chase when I have them along. Junior birdchasers, don't leave home without them! (photo:digitalmediatree.com)
I'm happy for you! Kids are lucky charms. It's a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Persistence pays off!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I saw my puffin with the kids waiting in the car. They declined to come see the blur on the water that was a puffin but still they were definitely lucky!
ReplyDeleteYour Heron is spectacular. Very cool!
