Field Notes

Description:

An adult Great Blue Heron in flight

Habitat:

Near open water on the Otter Tail River in Otter Tail County, Minnesota

Notes:

This was the second time I'd seen them since their return to our area on 4-01-13. This was a very windy day and they appeared to be far more active than when I'd seen them on the 1st.
