Good morning,
My neighbor just texted me that there is Great Blue Heron in the back yard.
It is just walking around . This is a condo complex in Niantic. We both
live close to a marsh, not sure why it is hanging out in the yard. I am not
sure if it is injured as I am at work in New Haven. Any idea why it would
stay in a yard?
