I do not remember having known of a Great Blue Heron here 
in winter before, but last year, late in December, I observed one 
on an island in Boston harbor, where it was feeding in a marsh. 
Happening to revisit the island about the first of January, I met 
the Heron again, feeding in the same spot.
