It is really beautiful and always something to find in the trees, in the grass, in the water \O

Have edited the count. Should be correct again. But I will have to list the birds at some point to make sure
I never counted one double. :O^

The closest I ever got to an egret anywhere. This one standing right underneath the boardwalk trying
