The one that got away....











Today was a pretty nice Sunday...Not too warm, but not rainy. I did the usual cat stuff (eating,napping,cleaning myself) and then went outside to see what kind of adventure was in store for me. As I sat on the back porch, I noticed a Blue Jay perched next to the river. I knew from experience that I probably had no chance of catching him but I am a cat and it is my job to try. I slowly crept to the edge of the yard and just as I was trying to invent a way to jump 5 feet in the air,he flew away. When I peered over the edge of the yard, I saw one of the largest birds yet. It was a Blue Heron. It had one of the longest beaks I had seen. I was so impressed with it's size that I sat and watched him for what seemed like an hour(probably only 7 minutes in cat time). When I got up the nerve to move in closer, he stretched his wings and took flight. It was amazing to watch. After going down and getting a drink of nice cool water, I realized I was hungry and went to the house to eat.
