Heron?
Just before sundown I saw a huge shadow on the window blind that faces west. Jumping up and looking out one of the windows that faces the arroyo I saw what I thought was a Sandhill Crane sitting at the top of our neighbor's tree. The more I look at this silhouette image, though, the more it looks like a heron to me. If it is a Blue Heron it probably came from Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park.

Ten miles of desert between here and the Organs Usual hike this morning for Dr. K, Willow and me. We saw the Basset people and four hounds ...

So unusual to see that bird in the low desert.
Packrat: That's definitely a Great Blue Heron. Must have broken its tether at the Rio Grande! What a neat observation (especially the shadow falling across the blind)!
Thanks for the input, Scott. After I took photos I telephoned my neighbor to tell her of the huge bird in her tree. I think, though, that it had gone by the time she went out to look.
