The best views of a Green Heron I've ever got! They're smaller than I expected.

The Magic Of Rain Pools
Spring thunderstorms can leave enchanted small rain pools in low lying meadows & fields. Sometimes concealed on all sides by spring vegetation. They can be magical & worth putting on your water boots and exploring. You never know what you will find.
