I’ve been away visiting an old friend but I’m back now, and have my new computer up and running great! I can finally edit photos from last month! An osprey paused to rest for a few minutes, as the fish was fairly large. © Sandra Blair

When the water is low, fish gather in smaller areas that attract lots of herons, egrets, terns, and cormorants. Disputes erupt and Snowy Egrets are always ready to rumble. This is a very tight crop. © Sandra Blair

A Great Blue Heron pair at their nest keep an eye out for any other Great Blues that might try to take over their site. Early in breeding season, competition can be fierce for the best nesting trees. © Sandra Blair

Water gates in wetlands allow water to flow in and out with the tide, along with lots of small fish. Egrets use these structures to fish from. This territorial Snowy Egret has an attitude because another Snowy is below him on the same structure. © Sandra Blair
