A bird and a reflection

Posted on by Patrick

I’m not sure what the bird in the pho­to above is; any­one know? It’s a wad­ing bird of some kind, spot­ted down on 1st Street North near the river.

Here’s a larg­er ver­sion of the pic­ture, in case that helps.

Update: Accord­ing to my sis­ter, who I think is cor­rect, it’s a blue heron.

Also on 1st Street North near the riv­er: a lamp­post reflect­ed in a pool.
