Painted Lady at Governor Bridge Natural Area.

I met Graeme early at Governor Bridge, and we found an injured Great Blue Heron right away. We managed to get it back to the car, but it was early and we couldn’t locate any help, so we released it. It didn’t seem to have a serious injury, so it may have a decent chance.

Other than that, it was deadly slow, with virtually no visible birds. We spent some time looking for bugs, with limited success.

This Great Blue Heron clearly couldn’t fly, so we covered its head with my shirt, and took it back to the car park.

We kept it in this bag while we tried to find help.
