Every day when I drive to work, I drive by either a large pond or a small lake. After a few days, I started noticing a bird that looks like a Blue Heron. It is really quite beautiful and I see it almost every day now. It reminded me of a very type of bird (if not the same) that we often saw in fields and ponds in Oregon. Then at lunch time yesterday I got in a discussion with several people about the types of wild life the have here in North Carolina. From what I can tell, they have very similar animals to those that live in Oregon. There are no Elk, Mule Deer or Antelope, but there are bear, mountain lion, white tail deer, raccoon, fox, coyote, etc., etc. There is lots and lots of forest land here, but unlike Oregon most of it is privately owned. It is a beautiful part of the world.
