Yesterday afternoon while travelling along the Eastern Shore, I stopped to check out Bullrush Lake in Tangier. This is on Highway 7, immediately east of Holy Trinity Anglican Church.  The water's edge along the highway is shallow and dense with cattails. When Suzanne Borkowski and I come down to do my Nocturnal Owl Survey in April, we always stop at this lake.  It's often the place for some "first of the year" birds.

A sharp explosive SKYEOW made me turn to see a Green Heron.  It flew up and landed on the top of the dead stump of a drowned tree at the edge of the lake, not far from the side of the road.  This was about 50 meters away from me.  As it stood there alertly I noted its black crown, , dark back, and the rich chestnut brown on the side of face, neck and throat.  When I turned to get my camera from my car, it began to make a clucking call and flew down along a channel between the rushes, and so disappeared.
