Our New Neighbor
Our apartment community is built around a wetlands conservation area. There are several ponds in the community, where we often see geese and ducks. This summer, a new resident moved in:
Do we live on Sesame Street? This bird is huge!
We call him Buddy. We see him almost every day, usually in the same spot. Thanks to my marine biologist friend Sara who knows a lot about animals and can ID them just by looking at a picture, we now know Buddy is a juvenile Great Blue Heron.
Our apartment community must be doing something right for Buddy to live peacefully here. Rock on, Arborpoint at Seven Springs!
