Thursday's Bird Watch

Early in the morning this past Saturday, I found a Great Blue Heron wading carefully along the quiet banks of Rickreall Creek in the Dallas City Park.  I imagine it was looking for prey, possibly for a fish or a crawdad.  Dallas City Park is only a block away from Dallas Retirement Village, and yet at times, because of the abundance of wildlife, birds, squirrels, and deer, it seems like another world.  We are so fortunate to have this amazing resource so close by.  I highly recommend it for a place to walk, or simply sit on a bench and enjoy.
