Letter: The Heron in a tree phenomenon

Comment on Our Satuday visitor, a close up of an urban Great Blue Heron's visit, with photos.

Great picture of the Heron in the tree. Being a river boy and later living on a dry ridge with farm ponds I have seen many Herons, but I had never seen a heron in a tree. It must have been so cold that day that it was mentally unbalanced. -George Rice
Thanks, George Rice. It would be interesting to know of others' experience seeing herons in trees. May be more common than we've noticed before, simply because they're so hard to spot there.
Stranger things have happened, though, if this particular heron is bent on evolving from a shore bird to a more eagle like creature. I saw a piece on the British television - so it must be true - about sheep roosting in trees. Click to Flying Sheep to see for yourself. 4 min.
