Wildlife Abounds!!

The Great Egret Roosting Tree at Sunset





Cruising does a bit of catching up today on sightings:

Sunday afternoon: a dolphin very near shore at Front Beach in Ocean Springs.

Monday evening: two exceptionally handsome Black-crowned Night Herons and a stately Yellow-crowned Night Heron at the Inner Harbor. Dozens of Great Egrets settled in at sunset at Inner Harbor. These gorgeous birds croaked and fretted as they picked spots in the trees for roosting for the night. As the sun set behind the roosting trees, it was a most majestic sight!
