....were canoeing in the upper part of the Ashley river on a beautiful fall day and a Great Blue kept landing in the trees ahead of us. When we caught up with him he would take flight and move ahead a few dozen yards. He did this about 5 times untii he flew away. What a GORGEOUS sight!

Another story. Once when I was kind of hung over and headed to work the sun was shining in my eyes and I was squinting right into the sun. Ahead of me standing in the middle of the road was this 'thing' in the glare of the sun that stood over the height of my hood. I thought it was some kind of alien from outer space but when I got close to it, it spread its wings and flew off. Beautiful Blue Heron.
