 Snowy Egret Good evening friends, I was wondering how many of you come home at night and say “Where did the day go”?? Time passes so fast here! I think for us one difficult thing is the sun rises and sets about the same time all year as we are so close to the equator, it’s dark here at 7:00 making the days seem even shorter.
Here’s another fun shot from my Sunday morning photo shoot with the flamingos. These are Snowy Egrets feeding in very shallow and very salty water! To my complete disbelief they were catching little fish! Look at my name on the photo and find the “r” in Brown, that egret down by the water has a tiny fish in his mouth, I didn’t even know there were fish in there? The place where they are feeding is surrounded by walls the slaves built hundreds of years ago and will be dry as a bone in just a few months so any fish in there have no where to go? This salt pond once dried up will turn to solid salt crystals and only when the rains come again in the winter will they again fill back up. The flamingos were eating brine shrimps, I will send another photo for you of all of their heads underwater eating. This was the first time I have ever seen these egrets in numbers like this before, they were everywhere!! Each one seemed to take it’s turn flying out over the water (never landing) and while flying grab a little fish and fly back, it was really cool!
I spent a few hours today standing on a ladder trying again to shoot that little Bananaquit that has built her nest in the mouth of that big stuffed fish, not an easy task!
Hope all is well out there, I guess no news is good news! See ya, Barry
