I was with Grandma Lodgepole in the living room and someone was with Mom in another room. There were others also sitting around waiting to hear the new baby when a big blue heron landed outside and walked right into the house, it looked around, went to the door Mom was in then turned around, walked back outside, then flew away and shortly after Bugzy was born. They liked to tease Bugzy, that the blue heron delivered her that day instead of the stork.”
