Day 271 - a Year by the Sea

September 29, 2007 by OrientSee.

Another high tide and a beautiful day. This Great Blue Heron was taking his afternoon siesta atop the tern platform. He was all tucked down and resting. It’s amazing how a bird that stands nearly four foot tall with six foot wings can fold up like a contortionist. The egrets are around but not much else. The very high tides and gorgeous bright skies have transformed the fall marsh into a pool of submerged waving grasses. Another aspect of the marsh to enjoy before the winter sets in.

Ciao!
