FEARLESS HERON MAKES ITSELF AT HOME

A seemingly fearless blue heron roamed the shores and gardens of Tripp Lake looking for lunches much of the summer.  Fish are not their only protein;  this one stalked and carried off scores of chipmunks.  Claudie Getchell discovered that small mammals are part of their diet when this heron visited her rock walls and cottage foundation daily, stalking the little critters.  Jacqui Misenheimer snapped it in action.
