I was lucky enough to observe an amazing sight this week. Monday through Friday there was an egret/heron feeding frenzy on the two golf course water features near our house. There were seven egrets there on Monday and by mid week the number had grown to 18. About 2/3 of the birds were snowy egrets. The rest were great white egrets. There were also a couple of green herons, a few cormorants and one mystery bird. I shot pictures Monday through Friday mornings but by Saturday the birds were gone. Most of these pictures were taken about 7:45 in the morning on very foggy days, which means the light was weak and flat so I was pushing the limits of my equipment and ability. But watching these big (mostly), white (mostly) fish was amazing.
