Almost Speechless Sunday: Bird at Lake in Grand Lakes Katy,TX

 

While I was walking our dog this morning in Grand Lakes Katy TX. I saw this bird sitting on the shore close to the water. What I found surprising was the bird stayed put even though my dog wanted to go visit, there were several dogs barking all at once from several backyards and the muscovy ducks who unfortunately live in some of our lakes were rapidly moving towards the bird.

It's either an egret or a Heron, Bob. It looks very similar to our Great Blue Herons, but having relatives that I've visited not so far away from you, in FLA, they have both. 

This is a heron that I shot many years ago while visiting my mom in Homosassa Springs, FL about 70 miles from Tampa.

I,really like to pictures you post of your neighborhood.  The bird is probably pretty used to humans and our noises to be bothered.

Egrets are such majestic looking birds.  At our local park, we have a Blue Egret that comes to visit from time to time!

Bob,

 I too think it is a Egret we also have a blue one but is not as confidant! Hope you have a great week!

Bob, would be sweet to live near a lake to walk your pup!   Looks like the weather was pretty nice too.

I saw a bird that looked just like that a few days ago on the side of a canal as I drove by. It was a big one!

Hi Bob - I think it is a heron, we have those here too. And my dogs also bark at them. They are so interesting to watch catch fish!

Good Tuesday afternoon Bob.

It's been a long time since I've caught one of your posts.  I seem to be an early bird and you are not showing up on my scroll.  

I'm afraid since a darn Heron sat and ate all but 7 of our large backyard pond fish I'm not a fan.  He wasn't afraid of us as we tried to run him off so we ended up putting a large screen over the pond to protect our very old fish from being his next meal.

Patricia Kennedy - The birds and squirrels who live here are fairly use to all the dogs i would guess. Most of the time birds like this one fly off immediately
