I’m not quite reduced to posting pictures of seagulls yet, but I’m getting there if those baby geese don’t show up soon. In the meantime, here’s a snowy egret. We don’t often see them in our local pond, though they’re hardly uncommon around here. There are lots of them in a nearby marsh, and at least a few who hang out in a nearby flood control channel. But we get them every once in a while. They’re lovely critters, aren’t they?
