blue heron sighting

Something that I think is kind of special, lately, is that I've been seeing a lot of blue herons around here. Being a silly hippie as I certainly ascribe to be, I find it to be a sort of spiritual message of some sort, and liked this bit I found online that confirmed the specialness. I was very surprised the other day to see two great blues flying together; I think of them as solitary creatures and have never seen more than one, even when I lived in Olympia and they were as common as pigeons.

Local Indians, known for their healing rituals, revered the serene, elegant and powerful heron as a symbol of self-realization—the joy you experience when you discover your best self.
