The Eight Foot Heron
His name is Michael. That’s what the homeowner named him. “After the recent hurricane”, she said. I love that he has a name. This handsome devil is nearly eight feet tall and graces the entryway of a home in Beaufort, NC. I think it’s obvious that it’s a (huge) homage to Audubon.
