The Bird





Sometimes the most unusual things happen in places that are very familiar. That is what happened to Valerie and me the other day as we were leaving Panera Bread at Virginia Center Commons. We have been going to Virginia Center Commons ever since it was first built and we have never seen a sight such as this!
On the car parked next to mine, this bird was perched on top of the car's roof. Unfortunately he flew off before we could get a picture of him sitting on the car roof, but luckily he didn't fly far and so we were able to take the pictures that I am showing here. I'm not really sure what kind of bird that it is (is it an egret?), but I do know one thing....it is not a bird that is usually seen in the parking lot of a mall that is over 100 miles from an ocean.
