Nice Crowd

There was a good size group at the marsh pond early this morning just after sunrise. It’s mostly great and snowy egrets but I did spot a tricolored and little blue heron tucked into the crowd as well!

What? and no squabbles, or arguments breaking out. How can this be with so many egrets?

  It can’t be. Well, it shouldn’t be. Don’t know what got into those birds, getting along like that. Sheer craziness.

Was this a 4th of July family reunion? That’s quite an assemblage of big wading birds,

  It’s always amazing, interesting, and confusing how they decide to get along at a time like this when other times it’s impossible. 🙂

That’s quite a breakfast party, Phil. Those fishies had better watch their backs. 😯

  Fishies are in BIG trouble Sylvia! They were the featured item on the breakfast buffet!
