Friday Afternoon
It was a mostly quiet afternoon yesterday over at the marsh.
A great blue heron as usual had to announce his comings and goings. A mixed group of male and female hooded mergansers floated along on their standard patrol.
A young white ibis picked along in the shallow water at the edge of the marsh searching for a tasty treat. And an egret still hard at work fishing, is silhouetted by warm setting sunlight to wind down the day.




Such lovely pictures, Phil! The light in the last one is so beautiful! At Lucy’s for a few days, so we can look and admire together!

That big heron has a huge yap! He must have squawked a good one. These are lovely photos, and such a nice sampling of marsh birds. Love the tufts on the mergansers, the young ibis, and that beautiful silhouette and reflection in the last shot.

He does have a big yap and once again feels compelled to announce his departure to everyone and no one.
