Sitting on my back deck earlier with my Merlin Bird ID app. I identified three new birds! One was a shock!
The new birds were: a brown-headed cowbird, an Indigo Bunting, and....a Great Blue Heron!!! That last one was a shock! I live in SE PA, I had no idea they were here. It popped up on the audio ID, and I looked around. I finally saw it in my neighbor's yard. I tried to get a picture, but it disappeared around the corner. This is what it looks like (picture from Google)

We have one that flies over the boro every afternoon about 5 pm like clockwork.

I’m not a big fan of the cow birds, but an indigo bunting! I’d camp out on your roof to see one. We have blue grosbeaks where we are, but they aren’t the same.
