Great Blue Heron migrating southward at evening

    As I was about to leave Pine Park this evening
I heard a Great Blue Heron calling in the distance
towards the north. Its cries grew more and more

passing over the Great Meadow without changing its
course in the least or lowering its flight perceptibly.
At short & very regular intervals it uttered its
hoarse, rasping haink giving it at least once every
four or five seconds. Evidently it was migrating &
bound for some rather distant place. Most of the
Blue Herons that I see here at this season pass similarly
