I know it might be hard to tell the size and scale of the bird in relation to the background and dock, etc. from my pictures but these were definitely Great Blue Herons. They had their necks all scrunched down as they rested (kind of like in this picture).

Hi. We’re pretty sure it was either an elk or deer based on the size of the hooves (pics of which I did not share on the blog). Thank you!

I missed the caption of you being out of town on a well deserved time away …hope it is warm wherever , but I woke up when you gave us pictures of old bones of some carcass of elk or dear
“Hey, where are we?”
Thanks for thinking of the Hawk world ,sending us captivating pictures of lovely wildlife.
The Blue Heron and the adventurous white tailed deer are wonderful.
Rest and Enjoy your time away, Roger_Paw
