A gray heron landed in the tiny pond blow my porch. We watched it for about 15 min as it hunted in the water. My dog got out and chased it to the other side of the pond. The dog ran around the pond and it flew back to the other side. I went out side to catch my dog and she had chased it into a marshy spot. The heron was standing its ground squawking and screeching at my dog at taking stabs at her with its beak. I asked my husband to hold the dog back. The dog never touched the bird as it was much bigger than she. I walked right up to the heron and put a small stick to its beak to see if it would attack it. The heron did nothing. I reached over and grabbed the heron by the neck up close to its head. It didnt struggle. So I picked up the bird under my arm. The bird was calm and it was an amazing experience. I gently let it go. The heron flew off after a bit. I felt it was a sign that I was able to connect with that bird..... I had the experience of a life time. A gray heron landed in the tiny pond blow my porch.

I had to make myself take my daily long walk as I was feeling depressed. Near the end of my walk I said, "Universe, I need a shot in the arm--this walk just has not helped me feel better today." In the next few steps I saw a Heron about 30 feet away, walking on the shore. Took pictures...it flew away, and I came across it again in a couple minutes. My mood was greatly improved. Yay!

I like to think it was from grandma - wishing me happy birthday! x lovely to hear more of these experiences, after my last visit here, I still hadn’t seen another heron since around the time of my grandma’s death.
