Gotcha!

Shrimp...it's what's for dinner! Upon further review (thanks to my neighbor and fellow blogger Ernie), I have determined this fisherman (shown plunging yesterday) is a little blue heron sporting its breeding colors.  an unknown bird.  But it is a bird!  Honestly, there are so many different herons and egrets here...I give up trying to identify this one.   On a different note, for those of you who like Christmas music, I encourage you to visit Ernie's blog ErnieNotBert. He collects old vinyl Christmas records throughout the year, then rips them, scans the covers and shares them on his blog. It's a great way to find little known renditions of holiday classics.  One of my favorite shares from last year is an album of Christmas songs from an Irish pub. Good stuff!

Great shot of him. I think it might be a Reddish Heron in its dark phase based on the colour of its bill although maybe the feathers are too tidy. You're right - it's a bird!?!

Nice catch for dinner.....I cant take this game anymore, if I go to bed and MSU is winning, then they win in my mind. LOL. The announcers must have went to Wisc BTW.
