On one of my favorite sites that I follow daily, there is lots of talk about a lady who saw a Comorant on her commute in this morning. She is probably correct based on this site.
Then there was talk about pelicans, but I saw a Blue Heron, in flight this evening on my ride home. I cannot be sure as it was flying away from me, but the long graceful flaps of its wings and the greyish blue tinge of it feathers makes me think that it was one. I wish I had my proper camera as I was only able to capture this with my cell phone.
It is amaizing the things that I see on my bike. I take this as a privelege to be able to experience these sights and witness nature at her best.
Had I been in my metal, plastic and glass enclosure, I would not have witnessed that bird today. I would have missed the playful gophers along my route. The ducklings adventuring further from their mother everyday now. The deer off in the distance, grazing and seemingly oblivious to the noise of the city only a few hundred meters away.
What an awesome ride!
