JULY 27, 2011 - Late this evening Wendy Elliott had a weird thing  
happen to her in residential Wolfville.  She was walking her dog on  
lower Kent Ave. at 11 p.m., about 3 houses from Main St., when she  
flushed a BIG HERON.  From her description of its height, it must  
have been a great blue heron, but why it was in this residential area  
with no ponds? is a mystery.  The heron only flew a few metres and  
landed in a yard there.  Wendy was joined by a jogger and watched  
this bird walking at fairly close range, it was not acting scared.

When she got back up to her home, she sent her husband Steve Slipp  
back down the avenue, but he did not see the heron.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
