Why Egrets? These beautiful and majestic birds were once threatened to extinction on Long Island and other astern seaboard locations. Every year I see the increase of their population and take the time to capture their beauty. Thanks to the advocacy of the Environmental Defence Fund these birds are more plentiful today., see more on the history of the EDF and the Egrets
The Black Heron's are elusive. These birds become easily disturbed at hearing any noise. I had been out looking on several days, and these were the first shots I caught.
"Three Black Heron " here were shot form a good distance in the salt marsh in East Moriches, Atlantic Avenue. The two adults and one juvenile in the fore ground and foraging for food.
"Two Black Heron" are seen a shot while later . My very short photo story capture a moment the early summer late in the day.
" A Beautiful Day" , I spotted an Egret on the Senix Creek, my back year.
Gliding Towards a Spot !
"Egret Landing on the Senix Backyard Creek" is not uncommon. This Egret forages here regularly.
Egret's fish the same waters as Osprey, Jamie Forbes

I find the yearly observations of the cycles of the Egete fun to photograph and share. Now plentiful, they are seen in many varieties on Long Island and through the US. I encourage young and old activists by visiting sites like study.com
