Day 120 - a Year by the Sea
April 30, 2007 by OrientSee.
This Snowy Egret was in mid-leap for a fish. He is truly a kung fu master. The crane school of kung fu found its inspiration here. This bird covered twenty feet in a single leap to grab its prey. (My camera has a motor drive that made this image possible.) His agility and speed were amazing. I spent a half hour watching this one bird. I also found the hidden path to the secret pond. Kung Fu Mystery Theater. The reeds at Belle Isle hide several large ponds. They are a pain to find because of the phragmites. Banging through the reeds in knee deep water is very much like some scenes in The African Queen. However, there are a few paths if you can find them. Today, I found the way to the biggest pond. I have a semi-serious suggestion that we build a meditation platform by the pond to watch the birds and learn the right way to peace and harmony. The pond is just the place to learn these lessons.
Ciao!
