Blue Heron at Campground near Yellowstone

This is a blue heron that was at a campground near Yellowstone.  It was the first one that I'd ever seen.  Imagine how silly I felt went a couple of months later, I was visiting Lake Evergreen, about 15 miles north of my house and saw scads of them.  Where had they been all of my life?
