Unexpected visitor to the National Mall

This is admittedly not a great picture as it was getting dark and shot at a distance with an iPhone, but Tim was so amazed to see a great blue heron on the National Mall, he stopped the car – in the middle of Constitution Avenue at rush hour -- to take a picture. I have never seen a heron down there but now think we should take a walk around the mall and see who’s inhabiting the pond.

The heron seems to be quite comfortable in its surrounds Helen, it would be a good idea to take that walk you never know what you may find! V
