The heron made it into The Washington Post!

The Washington Post sends me a weather forecast every morning, and today I was surprised to see a picture of “my friend the heron” included! At first I thought they had used one of my shots, but they didn’t, although it's definitely the same bird. Now everybody will know he lives at Constitution Gardens (the name of which I didn’t know), and that will be the end of my “private” sessions with him ;-).

Taken with my iPhone on a dusty and reflective monitor.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
