Day 111 - a Year by the Sea

This is a showboat. It’s a Great Egret and already in breeding plumage. Two of them were resting behind the Orient Heights T train yard. They weren’t bothered by me. I just sat and enjoyed the show. It is easy to see why they were hunted for their feathers. I told one of the neighborhood little kids about the bird and she was shocked to hear about a bird as tall as herself. Then she remembered seeing a bird like this on tv, the power of nature shows. It is a gorgeous day and by tomorrow all our magnolia buds will be opened. That will be a floral showboat.

Ciao!
