Great Blue Heron standing with head on shoulder

From my observations the Great Blue Heron usually stands with neck erect. But this bird caught my attention with the folded neck and its head on shoulders. Blue-gray color and white on the head field mark this large heron.

Great Egret soaks in the sun and water

It is a mid-afternoon low-tide so we do not see any feeding by this Great Egret. But it is a spectacular late summer day and this one takes in some sun and hops around on the rocks. The yellow bill and black legs mark this white heron.

In the calm morning low-tide, 2 Great Egrets and 2 Snowy Egrets

This habitat has seen a lot of egrets this week. Good weather, early morning low-tides (extreme due to full moon), and plenty of fish make for a superb feeding location.
