Saw bunches of Green Herons and Great Blue Herons, Great Egret, Osprey.
I shot a photo of a Great Egret in flight where parts of it were "blue" I
think it was probably just the lighting, but wasn't quite sure.

I took several pictures of it wading and it looked all white.
Also on Sunday, I saw a Great Egret in the same spot being chased by a Great
Blue Heron. They flew in several circles before the Egret flew up into a
tree. The Heron had been wading in that area for some time.
I don't know the breeding times etc for Herons, but on Sunday I saw a
juvenile Great Blue, pretty much solid gray, and numerous juvenile Green
Herons. I
would say I saw about 10 adult and juveniles at the same time.
Three of them were on the same little mud flat. They were just everywhere.
