Beneath the Glen Canyon Dam, the Colorado River is a cool green ribbon winding through desert land. The riparian zone at river’s edge is shore bird territory. We drifted by many intent on a feast of fresh fish as well as trees topped by nesting blue herons.
My favorite was this rather focused snowy egret.
Was the egret focused on the photographer’s children? Hoping one of them might drop a bit of a sandwich?
Herons and egrets are fascinating to watch. Their concentration and patience are amazing.
Delmer: It was trying its best to ignore us, but it’s hard to blend in with a canyon when you’re snowy white.
Nothing Profound: Yes. Kind of wish I had that kind of focus sometimes!
They are spectacular birds aren’t they? Have a great time in Puerto Rico look forward to reading your posts on this place.
Thanks Cate! I’m sure we’ll see some wonderful wildlife in Puerto Rico as well!
