A reddish egret hanging around the fishing pier.

This is the rare hybrid that was seen recently hanging around the fishing pier. Local experts say it’s a cross between  a great blue heron and a great egret. He’s got a great blue heron beak and body but legs of a great egret. I found him pretty easily right on the pier, looking for a handout like the other birds.

This snowy egret has found a good perch.

Someone caught a big one.

It’s always fun to guess where these big ships are going.
