The Emerald Isle
Can you see the Leprechauns?
Melanistic Great Blue Heron
Melanistic Great Blue Heron The increased development of the dark-colored pigment melanin in the skin and hair of an animal is called Melanism, and is the opposite of Albinism. This great blue heron was found at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario. We did a road trip and found it on the Grindstone Marsh Trail in Hendrie Valley. Ardea herodias Great Blue Herons can hunt day and night thanks to a high percentage of rod-type photoreceptors in their eyes that improve their night vision. source - Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

I see them every day,
I see them here,
I see them there,
I see them everywhere,
I see them in a truck,
I see them on the sea,
I see them in a cafe,
I see them on the motorway,
I see them next to me,
Yes, I do see the leprechauns,
I see them every day.
