Egrets and Herons — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Egrets and Herons are favorites among our “large bird” seasonal residents.

“Eddy Egret” (Great White) flies in at low tide for some seafood.
It’s fun watching him take big wing-assisted hops from rock …
… to rock.
Then it’s all business when he finds a likely spot for fish.
He’s in head first when he sees one, …
… and makes a successful catch more often than not.
One of Eddy’s Snowy Egret cousins passes through.
Over on Niles Pond, Black-crowned Night Herons are around much of the year.
The young are well camouflaged before the foliage turns all green.
Yesterday, we came across an adult wrestling a bullfrog.
Looks like frog legs for lunch.
