Whenever I go to the drug store to pick up meds, I drive a little farther to the north side of Fern Ridge Lake, just to see what I can see. I was fortunate to see this egret beach party! :) It had to be because when I first got there I saw only one egret, soon another joined it, then a little later another one came along. Then they were joined by a youngster, perhaps a heron, just wanting to see what the occasion was. It seemed to be a boring party, I didn't see much going on. So I spent my time trying to get pictures when they all had their heads up. That was a challenge!
