Perhaps it was the warm sun that kept it there. Or maybe it was the fish, crustaceans, insects and other food sources the carnivorous bird likes to it. But here it was early October and the graceful white plumed bird was still in Maine when others of its ilk had begun the flight to warmer climes like the southern U.S, Central America and the West Indies.

Now I couldn’t tell initially which one it was as I rode by on my bike. One is known as being larger of the two kinds with a yellow beak and black feet while the other type has a black beak and yellow feet.
