night heron hide-out

There is a horse trail that runs through the forest bordering the Junco wetlands and town.  Walking this route always gets us into a quiet spot away from the wind and elements. We often see wild horses, Chimango Caracara, and get an unusual daylight sighting of the Black-Crowned night herons who sit like sentinals in the tree tops.

Raivo looks up at the sentinal-like herons on guard in the canopy.
