Day 281 - a Year by the Sea

I was in the thicket by the casket company when I realized how close I had come to these birds. I stayed very quiet and sat down on the ground partially concealed by some high weeds and nearby trees. It was a sight to be so close. I just sat and watched. Neither the Great Egret or the Great Blue Heron is very tolerant of people but I was within 80 feet. The afternoon sun was coming from the right direction so there was no glare. It just was enough to be there. Another wonderful day at Belle Isle Marsh.

Ciao!
