Day 207 - a Year by the Sea

A convention. 1 Great Blue Heron, 4 Great Egrets (1 outside the frame), 9 Snowy Egrets and 1 Glossy Ibis (down in the ditch). At first I wasn’t expecting much today but then I looked beneath a tree limb out across towards the T train yard and saw this gathering. It took my breath away. I was less than 50 yards away from them all. I plopped down and just watched. The blue knew I was there and slowly edged away but the rest of them could have cared less. This is why I go out into the marsh. Every once in a while there is something so amazing that it doesn’t seem possible. The moon is almost full and the marsh is bursting with energy. Whatever it was, this was a small treasure to see.

Ciao!
