On Monday, July 26th, 2021 Roberta Bryant, photographer and nature enthusiast, wrote, ” This Heron was the only one around the pond at Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area today. The smoke is all around and he didn’t like it one bit…”

“He flew to the other side of the pond…”

“…and hid in the cattails.”

Thank you, Roberta, for these spectacular close-ups of one of Mason Valley’s elusive residents!
