This is a sight similar to what I saw yesterday morning while enjoying my morning coffee on the back patio.
The huge bird actually flew onto my neighbor's roof and stared at my small pond for a good 30 minutes.
I live very near to a park with a natural water feature that is host to many ducks, geese, herons, and other critters that you may not see a mile north of the center of the city.
The scary part of this sight for me, other than at first I thought it was a giant hawk coming to wreak vengeance of some horrible calliper upon my naturally frizzy red hair, was that last year I lost 9 fish from my pond that I nurtured and named and really enjoyed watching.
Now the real reason I stole this picture from Eekers- I want my husband to see it because he doesn't believe that a heron would stand on a roof.
By the by- we put a huge net over the pond this year and I haven't lost a fish yet.
