Would lead me to believe that they do migrate if the temp reaching
freezing.(?)
Our streams and rivers don't freeze, so the herons may hang around.

According to my 'Birds of Michigan field guide' the great Blue Heron
migrates to southern states - it shows no winter range in Michigan.

Paul,
I assumed they head for warmer climates.
I've never seen one after the snow falls.
And I don't think they are ice fishermen.
Maybe Ann will know.

Thanks Bob. Do Herons normally fly south? I'm no bird
expert.

Paul,
Fantastic! A heron in snow.
Somebody's got to remind him to go south.
Excellent catch!

I spotted this guy standing in the Rouge River
on my way home from one store this morning. Had to stop home
then make a second trip, so I picked up my K5, which already
had the DA* 60-250 mounted. I figured he'd be gone, but to
my surprise, he hung around. This is cropped to about 40% of
frame. The A 400/5.6 might have been a better choice,
although 40% of the 60-250 frame might be better than 80% of
the A400 frame, as the latter tends to CA.
