EGRETS APLENTY

It was about 7:15 a few days ago when I rode my bike down the street where our bayou used to be. (Since Hurricane Ike, it has been mostly filled in and in this summer's drought, even the ponds are drying up.) These egrets found this bit of muddy water and congregated - just for my pleasure, I'm sure. I wonder if this flock includes some baby egrets "learning the ropes?"
