Yep !  Saw one land in Lake Erie 7-8 miles offshore while we were
walleye fishing a couple of years ago. Probably found a recently-dead
sheepshead or some other floating fishy goodie. Took right back off
again, much to the amazement of all abourd !

It was then I saw the long legs trailing behind and I saw that it was a great blue heron. The water was probably 40 feet deep. I could not see if it caught anything. Has anyone else seen one do this?
