Nice to talk with Ron today, and Kim, and a very funny email from Donna providing a link to an internet list where people with backyard fish ponds discuss ways to deal with pesky great blue herons who, it seems, enjoy dining on expensive koi. Meanwhile, here's what I learned about the migratory habits of great blue herons: "Birds east of the Rocky Mountains in the northern part of their range are migratory and winter in Central America or northern South America. From the southern United States southwards, and on the Pacific coast, they are year-round residents. However their hardiness is such that individuals often remain through cold northern winters, as well." Well, Jessie and my heron would be an "east of the Rocky Mountains" bird, but perhaps it will turn out to be a hardy individual who sticks around through the cold northern winter, I hope so. I've attached a photo that looks a lot like our bird, but isn't.
More chemo factoids tomorrow.
Sleep well.
