It feels a bit odd to be here once again, my time is consumed with way too many things and unfortunately birding is not one of them and I miss it on so many different levels - though I am here now and I am sharing this little beauty - I took an early morning and raced a few miles away before getting ready for work - I got there just as the sun was getting ready to rise and searched for this bird that had been reported....take a look.....
 |
| here we have a Reddish Egret chick sitting in the nest, waking up ever so slowly.... |
 |
| its eyes and feathers are totally priceless. |
 |
| Not too far away its parent could be seen hunting for food. |
 |
| The chick seems to be restless as it moved around and stretched its wings and even stepping |
 |
| off the nest and unto the branches. The word out there is that this is the first Reddish Egret nest on Sanibel that we know of, I hope it fledges safely....anyday now. | |
Good luck little one, we wish you a long and healthy life.
