Sandy Point would have been my first choice, but it&#8217;s Labor Day weekend and bound to be very crowded.<\/p>\n<p>I made the right choice. I chatted with some fishermen for a while, and birds were continually flying in, which is always a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed a distant bird I couldn&#8217;t ID, so I walked to the other end of the pond and saw it was a juvenile little Blue Heron, a bird I don&#8217;t see often. Eventually it moved much closer and gave me some good looks.<\/p>\n<p>A good morning, indeed, and I may go back tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=39929\"
