RE: A fire aftermath and a heron.

What a great find in that Black Headed Heron! That is a gorgeous bird! It reminds me of seeing the Great Blue Heron on trips to Idaho when I was younger, such a majestic bird. I can see how it lifted your mood, it's always fun to come across a heron!
Forest fires are strange, how they spare patches and others they burn without mercy. It will grow back, it just takes a very long time sadly. I remember visiting Yellowstone Park after the fires here back in 80's, it was horrible. Now the green is back and new pines are finally getting tall enough to notice. Nature presses on and always has!

Yep, you certainly know about the herons, and we have quite a few species of herons over here. Good news that you saw one in Idaho, and they are very interesting birds. I have posted some of the species before, and also some with prey like snakes and frogs in their beaks. Always fun.
Our nature reserve was almost totally burnt down some years ago, and all of the old big protea bushes were turned into ash. To this day it has still not recovered. We always worry about the little animals and other wildlife that are killed in fires. Yellowstone was indeed a bad one, and I agree that nature will always replenish itself.
