Great blues are my favorite bird, too, Kim. We usually have one that visits our lake regularly but haven't seen him recently. Same is true of our other wading birds. It's like they all went to the Bahamas for the summer!
Congrats on the the 2nd vaccine but sorry you had such a profound reaction. With the first, I was super cold for about 3 hours. With the second, I was very sleepy and took a 4 hour nap!
