So there....

A week ago, when the little Great Blue Heron came to live here, I was told by "experts" that it was almost impossible to raise a baby GBH. He is still alive and so far making great strides. He's eating on his own now, loves the raw shrimp and pinky rats.

This photo shows him outside in the sunshine trying to control those very long legs and toes through the tall grass. He's very vocal when he wants a meal and now all I have to do is toss it into a large heavy crock food dish. He finds it and makes short work of getting it all eaten.
