Great morning at the Slough!

Beautiful day, quiet morning, lots of birds! I think I took 2700 pictures! After massive editing, these are my ten favorites….the green heron was a little far away but such a pretty bird! The osprey was joined by another and there was a slight altercation but it seemed like all was forgiven. This is the Goleta slough, and it’s a rookery for herons and cormorants.
I hope you enjoy these water birds!

These blue herons are so interesting in flight, and land so gracefully for such a large bird
