We've been watching this heron for a while. It's always stationed well out into the lake, but on a sandbar. The fishing must be good there. Once we saw two herons together here.
Ken got a photo of this critter in our campsite, just before it got alarmed and ran away, finally pulling completely into its shell when he got too close.
We made a complete change of scenery today. It was a long drive from Lake of the Ozarks State Park to Miami, Oklahoma, where we stayed at one of the smallest, least pretentious casinos we've ever seen. The really nice thing is that the Quapaw Casino offers campsites with full hookups, free for the first three days and only $10 a night afterwards.
The casino is just a rather utilitarian one story metal building. We walked through, seeing very few patrons at the many slot machines and no one at the four gaming tables. We did learn that "Quapaw" is pronounced "O Gah Pah," which we would never have guessed. The free campsites are very nice, and the trains were not too near and not too frequent.
