There are many lakes on the Canadian Shield, and I'm about fifteen miles south of the southern edge of it (or fifteen miles west of it, depending on how you look at it;).

A friend has a cottage on a lake about forty-five minutes north of here, and I go there for a cottage party there in the summer (four days, four bands, lotsa good times). That's when I see most of the herons that I see, as they are all over the place. You will find their regurgitated fish bones all over the place up there.
