This is Dinner. He is a Green Heron. Dinner visits our yard every year for about 4-6 months at a time. He flies in, in the morning, then leaves at night.
We actually have alot of neat birds that vacation in our yard each year like, Egrets, ducks, Black Capped Night Herons, American Bitterns and some others we still havent figured out yet.
We call this bird Dinner because each bird that visits gets a name. We cannot have people or animals vacationing in our yard or in our home without a name, ya know?
Molly; MJ's kitty used to stalk the birds everyday through the window. She was intently watching this bird. molly died a month ago and now our new kitties; Hazel and Pheobe stalk him.
The conversation between MJ and me went like this:
MJ: Hey Mommy, what should we call that bird out there?
Me: Dinner (I go about my cleaning)
MJ: What?! Dinner...no what do you think it's name is?
Me: MJ, his name is Dinner. look at Molly, she wants to eat him.
MJ: Bwahahaha, good name Mommy.
So, this is Dinner. We love having him here. He is fun to watch and entertains the cats all day.
