Great Blue Heron

Following the wildfire last October, the rain and green grass quickly blanketed the lands with soothing vigor.  This intrepid Great Blue Heron is lately making the rounds, hunting for frogs, insects, and rodents among the new growth by our organic Syrah vines.  These majestic birds, the third-largest herons on earth, usually find their meals by ponds and rivers.  This one is broadening its culinary preferences by flushing out wild little edibles in the vineyards, far from the waterways.
