I love the herons also, the blues are so striking and very interesting to watch fly in and out of the area.

My neatest birds to date though are my Pialated Woodpeckers, they are huge and look like Woody Woodpecker from the old cartoon.

I don't really know what their call is, but when they are pecking it is incredibly loud. They can take out chunks of trees in no time flat, and the phone company in our area has to put up a new pole if a pialated gets ahold one.
