Cool Nature: Great Blue Heron Caught on Video in Lansdale by Reader

A reader living near Poplar Street and North Valley Forge Road captured the long-legged bird on video and shared with Patch.

A Patch reader shared the discovery of a new friend in the creek in their backyard near North Valley Forge Road and Poplar Street in Lansdale.
A Great Blue Heron hangs out near the creek and sometimes hides in the drain pipe under a bridge.
"The wing span of this heron was huge," said reader Nicole Maae. "I thought I was seeing things when it flew by yesterday, and then my daughter was walking home from school today and saw it too. That's when she took the pictures and videos."
