jan.williams@yahoo.com Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 There ave been a pair of these birds in my neighborhood for the past 2 years. They come and go, and seem to appear around mid-April. We have been told they are blue herons. We live near a creek in Grapevine, Texas (in close proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport). Would appreciate help in identifying these beauties! The pics are not the best!
