In case you were curious how similar the Great Egret and Great Blue Heron are in size, these two lined up perfectly for comparison. Apparently it was a desirable fishing spot #birds 🌿

A large gray heron stands in shallow wetlands, looking down towards the water. A large white after stands behind it in almost the same pose they are very similar in size. The heron’s beak is bigger and chunkier.

Ontarians are facing an unprecedented foreign threat and increasing cost of living challenges. But by attacking protected bike lanes, Doug Ford wants to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to make it more expensive for more people to get around. Make it make sense!

I saw a Green Heron once years ago in High Park. I birdwatch multiple times a week and haven't seen one since. We went on a day trip on the GO train to Stratford this past weekend and did some casual birdwatching and saw 5! It was super exciting.
