Observation details
Wow, awesome yard bird/quarantine bird! Large heron, over twice the size of my usual green herons, appeared perched on my pond cattails, neck held out, bill pointed to the sky. Brown/buffy colored with a good bit of bold streaking. Flew off eventually...to think I may have missed it entirely! Photos attached. Many thanks to my dog, who wandered off and lead me to my pond's back end and to birding mentor/friend Quinn Emmering for confirming that it wasn't a quarantine mirage brought on by lack of birding adventures ;>)
