Here on the Ponderossa, we don't have to wonder when Spring is around the corner, these beautiful heron lets us know. Each year around this time they come here in hundreds, you can hear them coming while they are still far away. Our little Ponderossa sits in the middle of hundreds of acres of farmland, each year the crops are corn or soybean. The heron come here to feed from the many acres of grain that has fallen from the last harvest. I really enjoy hearing them make their honking sound, but they are really ominous when you are outside and they are gliding over head. Last fall before they went south, we were having a campout here on the Ponderossa, it was in October, the temperature was around 32 degrees that night, the whole family was here and we had our tents all set up. Our middle son decided to set off a big firework that he had, left over from July, when it went off those birds took off and it was a site to behold.
