Bob Is Back

Bob is a Great Blue Heron that every now and then hangs out at Wesley Lake, which is between Asbury Park and Ocean Grove. He was last seen on a blustery day in November, and we thought he had decided to winter elsewhere, but I ran into him while he was chilling at the lake late in the morning of January 6. He was crouching until I whispered, "Bob." Then he straightened and held the pose. Very obliging, is Bob. Looks like Rodan when he takes off and flies low over the water.
