While I was watching the White Ibis feed a Great Blue Heron flew from his nest in the big island to grab some building material. He was wading around in the swampy area to the left, selecting and discarding a number of choices. Finally he emerged with this teeny stick.

It looks so graceful
It’s always amazing to see them take off, looking so effortless.
These are lovely, Ellen! That must have been one special stick 😊
Thank you, he worked a long time to get just the right one.
