It’s quite a sight on the marsh these days. Branching chicks are all over the railings. Hundreds of Snowy Egret and Tri-colored Heron chicks are hopping around, patiently waiting for mom and dad to come back with food. There are a few nests of Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets that have small chicks but most are almost as big as their parents. The Wood Storks and Anhinga’s are overflowing their nests. Most of the Cattle Egrets have small chicks now. The visible Little Blue Heron nest is now vacant but there are probably some nests hidden away somewhere in the underbrush. Lastly, daily promises of Swallow-tailed Kites are always a pleasant sight for me.
