Jordan Lake Dam: Great Blue Heron, immature

This is the immature heron that was in this morning’s Facebook video greeting.
He is probably a year old as he has developed head plumes and is beginning to change his head markings.
If you look carefully, you can see some fishing line wrapped around his left leg.
The fishing line bothers me a great deal, but thankfully it doesn’t appear to be bothering him.

  1. Wow. beautiful. Too bad about the fishing line, but I’m glad it’s not bothering him. Judy

  2. Yes, it bothers me, too—but being right there as you are must make it very disturbing. Thank goodness it doesn’t seem to bother him.
