Wow.
On a similar topic this ballzie guy landed in the back yard while I was in the shop yesterday. Glad the pond doesn't have fish yet. Not sure if it's a crane or heron, likely this years burde so it still has immature coloring. About 3 feet tall. Sorry for the crap photos, the shop windows are covered in welding and cutting oil smoke film.

Need Nikon P900Infidel...
If I set one up, Racoons and Cayotes will just be diving in and feasting on my fishes. I live next to a forest.
