It’s a heron on the ice at the Japanese Garden at the Brookyn Botanic Garden. No worries. Cherry blossoms will be here in no time at all.

This location is actually at the Prospect Park Zoo. I was there Sunday (as, apparently, was the photographer), and I saw this heron there.

An ice fishing heron?

Thanks for the correction Steve. We believe this heron also visits BBG. It is indeed fishing – at least hoping to fish. There’s a hole in the ice where it stands and waits patiently. It’s a particularly beautiful animal and we love having it visit (along with some local wood ducks and recently a Northern pintail).
