Nature Done Wright

   The great blue heron continues to hang by the spillway, and a few people report that he is eating well — including a frog and a fish yesterday.
  As my wife and I approached him on the trail yesterday morning, he flew all of three feet to get out of the way. One friend of the blog decribed it as the heron’s "winter torpor."
   Maybe that’s what I have as well.
   At any rate, Mr. H is alive and apparently doing OK — and we get up-close looks every day.
   That said, as I learned from a phone call to the Raptor Trust, the heron’s proximity to humans is not normal behavior.
