At least good enough for you, my smart friends, to recognise what kind of big footed, yellow eyed (hope he is not having any liver problems) blue bird this one is.
Can anyone tell me? Is this "shorty" a blue heron?
He hung around that spot of the pond for quite a while. He left a squirted white poop on the rocks, climbed that twig right in front of him and balanced on it, while staring at the water.
After what I thought was a "Yuk!" sound (for which one cannot blame him, since that water is nasty), he flew to the other side of the pond, behind some bushes.
I hope he comes back.

he's a green heron (or a green-backed heron). i know, i know. he's really blue, but in certain light it's kind of a greenish teal color...
great photo! they're very shy birds (and very squawky too!)
really, that's a very good photo - his eye is nice an clear. so many times my photos come out with 'crazy eye'. :)
i knew t would know, she gets them also.

I just visited your blog for the first time and I love your beautiful garden and wildlife pictures!! My kids think I get way too excited about my flowers and the birds in the garden.. so it;s nice to see people with the same interest and appreciation!! Your flowers pop right off the page and I love the old house birdhouse, very cool! I'll be back!
Texwisgirl is right though the color threw me.
Well I knew what your birdie was but Tex beat me to it. Good shot and a cool bird but the white poop squirting...ewwwww. Hope he keeps the squirting down to the pond. AND look Miriam I found out how to comment here with your gang!
