Prayer Birds

The Great Egrets continue to spend time in the front pasture and they looked like prayer birds today. There are about 20 of them in this particular group. The is one off to the side in solitude. The colors of this January day are transformed by the low level light and the sun close to setting.

They were all basking in the sun as the fog lifted today. It was brilliant as you can see and the birds were graciously poised in prayer ~

Great White

Egrets are filling the front pasture grazing and eating the perfect meal for a foggy, white day in January!

They eat fish, frogs, small reptiles, grasshoppers and other insects. At this time of year they are probably munching on the frogs and insects. Whatever their dining pleasure, we certainly are enjoying the view.
