What I believe to be a juvenile little blue heron. Saturday my daughter and I were at an event at the local state park and the naturalist told us there were some there, well north of their normal range.
I went out later hoping to spot them. I tried to get closer but got the kayak stuck in shallow water.
A little later I had a beaver swim across a few feet in front of me but I wasn’t able to get a pic. I might also have gotten a glimpse at an adult little blue heron but not enough to be sure.
