Check out this Great Blue Heron‘s fun new perch! Kate spotted a heron sitting very comfortably on a discarded deck chair in Surrey, BC. Based on the condition of that chair, looks like lots of individuals have been utilizing this transplant toilet!
This is “my” deck chair and if I sits – I poops!! ???
A minute of #naturetherapy with @every_heron ?
