A snowy Egret takes flight and flies across my path. I had been watching this guy for an hour while he sat on a the edge of one of the water tunnels that allows water to move between the marshes and through the dike. He would take flight, circle around and come back to the same place, over and over again. I don’t think I ever did see him pull a fish out of the water that he was watching.
From my 7-3-2009 trip to Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville, NJ.
