I was out rowing on the lake last evening enjoying the quiet time after
sunset, when the silence was shattered by a GRRAAAWWWK followed
instantly by two Great Blue Herons at eye level and so close that a set
of primaries whooshed by within inches of my face. They had either
failed to notice me crossing their flight path or miscalculated how fast
I was going.
Wouldn't that be a spectacular way for a birder to go... skewered by a
heron! Much better than a falling coconut.
