Day 270 - a Year by the Sea

The rains came last night but more importantly a high astronomical tide at noon brought water. The salt pans went from bone dry to full. Everywhere there was water. I’ll have to start using my high rubber boots again. The first sight of the walk today was a gathering of 16 Great Egrets, 2 Snowy Egrets and 1 Great Blue Heron all at Rosie’s Pond (behind the Orient Heights T train yard). This one bird graciously posed for a portrait. It was quite a sight for three o’clock in the afternoon. The temperature has finally moderated and is promising to return to more seasonal levels. I met some one who works at Deer Island and he was telling me about deer and wild turkeys recently visiting Deer Island. I guess it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing moose on the beaches in Winthrop and Revere. Now that would be something to see.

Ciao!
