Great Blue Heron

Sitting on the lanai the other morning we looked out and saw this very large bird walking in the yard. The Sandhill Cranes are in the area and/or in our yard all the time so I didn't think too much about it. But unlike other times, there was just one lone bird - most unusual for the sandhill crane. As the bird walked closer we noticed the very long hair ......and the orange beak instead of black. After looking it up - I learned that this was a Great Blue Heron...........Beautiful
