Wendell

Wow- great photo and story told here! What kind of bird is Wendall? I love the feather you added- it looks as if it came from Wendall's wing!

@KayTeaPea Wendell is a Great Blue Heron. When my parents were alive (Dad was the last and passed in 2012) they had a house in Florida. We would go on the dock andd fish for the Great Blue Herons.. there were always different ones but we called them all the same "Wendell" as it was only one at a time, and I am sure the same one for years at a time. He was getting so tame that he would sit at the back door at special times to wait for you to come outside - just like a dog- so you could fish for him. Special bird to me I have a lot of photos of all the "Wendell's" we have had in our life. I almost think Dad's spirit is in one of these Great Blues as certain things have made us think that. My nephew even got a tattoo of Wendell... that is how dear he is to us Thank you for your comments and for asking!
