Day 237 - a Year by the Sea

Atop the tallest tree in the marsh is a Great Egret. It’s not a real unusual event. Most herons and egrets spend their nights in trees and they certainly nest in trees. I know all that but I’ve never actually seen one atop a tree. It’s like seeing a clown on a subway train. I can comprehend it but I am totally overwhelmed with the fancy of it. A Great Egret is far from a starling or a robin in size and shape. Yet this long legged wader and hunter of fish is perched high in the branches. It is a small wonder that is the delight of the morning.

Ciao!
