I also understand that it is also called a Mud Hen. Hack Click the image for an enlarged view. bltefft Columbus (Ga) United States October 30, 2009 11:07 PM Post #7225912 Here are two more.

Here they'll stay through early spring. I enjoy watching them diving for fish all through winter months. GBH are beautiful and one patient hunter!

Here is another GBH patiently hunting a stream. I saw it first. He just stood there for the longest time. Hack Click the image for an enlarged view.

It's a pretty time of the year. bltefft Columbus (Ga) United States November 06, 2009 04:09 PM Post #7248073 You're right Lily, the colorful leaves also got my attention. I see a heron or 2 about every time I visit Cooper Creek Park. Hack
