Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Tricolored Herons… not a great photo opportunity but a wonderful thing to see.
The small specs are Swallows; even smaller was the generous supply of mosquitoes and gnats.

I like the straws in front!
Thanks, Hans. I hope it gives some context that there was a line of tall reeds between me and the birds.
Can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to witness this!
It’s really a gift of nature, Belinda, that never gets old.
Wowza! Always awesome to see something like this, I’m enjoying it through your capture!!
I think we’ll always be impressed by these large flocks, Donna, at least I hope so! Glad that you felt you were there.
