In late summer Egrets and Herons often congregate in the tidal marshes on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. When I approach the small pier with my cameras as quietly as I can, I invariably scare a few away from the shoreline. In the early morning light the birds appear like dancers as they wade in the shallow water fishing or waiting their turns on an overhanging branch. They are majestic and remind me of their prehistoric origins. I is always a pleasure to spend time with them.
