Strange Sighting, Very Strange Indeed

[laker67]

Kdan and I were sitting on the dock this morning doing some cat fishing at loz. A green heron, which are rare in our parts, has been hanging out for the past week. We watched as he did his catch fish routine. He flew to the neighbors dock and landed on the hand rail. When we noticed him again he was on the deck acting strange. As we watched, he fell off the dock, into the water, kicked a couple of times, and was stone cold dead. How strange is that? Best we could figure, he got ahold of something that he couldn't swallow or spit back up.

Almost like a "if a tree fell in the forest" moment. Could have been a Native American omen too. I think it means it will be a good winter for fishing.

Either that or your neighbor has a short in the electric to his dock,

Odd.

Poor bird, it swallowed an invasive crawdad. Or was blindsided by an asian carp while you weren't looking. Or it drank water from Lake Ozark's city discharge.

Well birdwatcher we may have to ask Chief about that omen thing. And Lee, I don't believe I will be sticking my hand in the water to test your theory, but I think that KC may be on to something, with it drinking the water.

Laker, i lived at the lake for 30 years, i bet he's right about the water, lol!

Well birdwatcher we may have to ask Chief about that omen thing.

The omen always told me "Son, don't get married! You'll end up going a batty just like the little heron! "

I have gone against the advice from the elders of my tribe. I am now in the early stages of crazy. There is no cure.
