Herons are a hoppin’ at the pond.

It was one of those mornings that remind me that “10% chance of rain” often means “steady rain, but just at 10% intensity.” The good news is that the continuous spritzing didn’t slow down the critters in the park, and there were at least three herons ont the pond, one blue and two green.

Here’s the blue:

Here’s a bullfrog just hoping to stay out of the action.

The wood duck hens and ducklings, the black duck hen, and a couple of mallard hens were also about, but not as photogenic as the herons this morning. The situation was similar at the river.

The one other bright spot, however, is that the bee balm was finally getting some traffic.
