aka Great Blue HeronA crane while on my morning walk today.
I was just thinking that as I was still walking and before I saw your post. It is a heron but I wasn’t sure which kind. That’s for the verification.aka Great Blue Heron
Cool. I did not know that. I thought it had to do with colour and size. Good to know.^^^ The first thing to look at is the neck. Is it folded or straight?
to put that in context, how large are those satellite dishes ?The VLA (Very Large Array) in New Mexico, only a couple hour drive from my house.

Each dish is 82 feet in diameter. They have railroad tracks in a Y shape with each leg being 9 miles long (so 27 miles of track). Each leg has 9 dishes that are spread out in different overall diameters to focus to different distances in space. This photo was with the overall diameter really small, all 27 dishes in maybe a 1 mile diameter circle. The photo below shows a dish and the red track tractor they use to move them.to put that in context, how large are those satellite dishes ?
This might be a silly question but what are they used for?. They are huge.Each dish is 82 feet in diameter.

Thanks ! Those are birch trees. We have probably have thousands of them.The fit of the rocks ad the clematis are cool but I love the white trunk beyond disappearing into the shade below their canopy.
