Great Blue Resident

This Great Blue Heron seems to be a resident of the Mount Berry Trail ponds. I saw him in one swampy area and watched him till he flew. Then there he was again around the bend in the trail in the permanent pond near the trailhead. At least It think he's the same fellow. 

Sheila and I walked only about three-quarters of the way to the bypass and back. 

As we often do we used the walk to listen together to an audio book. We are re-listening to the Harry Potter books read by the amazing Jim Dale. We started this latest listen to the series on our cross country car trip over a year ago. We heard three of the books on the trip to California and back and often when we have a long drive together we hear another few chapters. It helps the miles to fly by. We are finally into the last volume: Harry Potter and the Death Hallows.

Usually on our walks, if we decide to listen to the HP books, Sheila lets me use one of her bluetooth ear pieces and she uses the other, but those have gotten kinda sketchy. They cut out on us frequently. So this time we just played it on her phone held between us. Passers-by got to marvel at the septuagenarian youngsters listening to wizarding battles and such.
