Most of the time you will find Great Egrets all by themselves.  They seem content to be quiet and concentrate on the task at hand, fishing. 

 

BUT after a high tide when the marsh pools are filled with tiny trapped fish, it is a free-for-all.  That is what happened this morning.  I was lucky enough to be there. 

 

                                                Some Roseate Spoonbills gather as well. 

                                                   Some fly in, while others fly out.

 

 

Wow! What a treat.
