They look so fragile on their long legs. Nice shots Ellen.
Hard to see, catching small fish or shrimp?
From some other views I think they were fish.
These sometimes show up here in the spring. So far, I haven’t seen them. They are lovely, delicate little birds.
I hope you do, Rebecca, they are real beauties.
I keep hoping and looking. 🙂
