Our news partners at the Seattle Times shared this photo from Discovery Park. According to The Times, the great blue heron had been walking in a field, turning its head back and forth and moving slower and slower until it plunged its beak into the ground and came up with a meal.

If you would like to be part of the group that works to protect the largest nesting colony of Great Blue Herons in Magnolia?s Kiwanis Ravine Park, Heron Habitat Helpers (HHH) is seeking new board members.
The group works to restore and preserve the Kiwanis Wildlife Sanctuary. The city of Seattle recently ordained the Kiwanis Ravine as the first wildlife sanctuary within the Seattle city limits and new board members are needed to help HHH enhance funding, grow membership and increase the number of active members. Meetings are held four times each year.
If you are interested or would like more details contact Barbara Selemon, HHH Volunteer Coordinator at baselemon@gmail.com.
