It was so muc......thank you all for you kind words. It was so much fun watching this little family. I have hundreds and hundreds of photos of them. I was sitting on a hill across the mote about eye level with their nest. They do not nest high in the trees, and their location, although pretty far away, was open to viewing. Every now and then a Black-crowned Heron would land on a branch overhead and the branch would dip down obstructing the view, but usually, the family was out in the open. Everything is easy at the Pinckney Island rookery during nesting season!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-35094022048275489242011-07-31T21:53:53.873-04:002011-07-31T21:53:53.873-04:00Those are beautiful shots.

There are lots of cattle egrets here in Portugal but any time I've ventured close to a nest it's been like trying to get close to royalty.
