Day 240 - a Year by the Sea

Two things about this photo. First it comes from the Oasis. The great thing about knowing people is what they share with you. The Oasis is a complete pond and marsh habitat very close to where I live. I simply never knew it was there until some one told me. There’s birds galore and even turtles. It’s hard to find because it’s in an unlikely place. The urban wild is a very apt description. Thanks, Geoff and Soheil. The other part of the story are the egrets in the tree. I no sooner than last week admitted that I had never seen this before when today I saw a dozen or so. It’s a real roost because the droppings underneath are very obvious. It’s not a one time vacation shack but a home in the reeds. I got all scratched up trying to find a vantage but it was worth it to see them all up a tree.

Ciao!
