I heard a flapping, as I was reading my book. Looking up, I saw a great big winged creature pass overhead, aimed at my next door neighbor's roof. Wondering if I should run for the camera, if it might be a pelican, heron, or ibis, I peeped out. It was just our friendly white-faced heron.
It stood on the roof for a minute or two, before flying over our own and then disappearing further inland. It seems to be quite a common sight, these days. I have spotted it foraging among the grasses of our yard three or four times in the past couple of weeks. And this heron does not scamper away at the sight of me…
Yesterday, I walked right past the window, and it merely stared and then ignored me. I think he is getting used to not having to run away!!
I have also spotted the starlings and mynas munching the bread scraps I make, bake, and discard. They seem to like my bread!
