Osprey in the Egret Tree

An unexpected trip out today allowed a quick drive down the beach road and around the harbor. Though slightly cool and sunny, the fishing must be good. A great blue egret stalked the edge of the water by the marsh grass, two great white egrets awaited the right moment on posts by the dock, and a regal osprey was perched in one of the trees where the great white egrets will nest at sunset. At midday, thoughts have not yet turned to resting, but to finding the right fish for lunch!
