Hello SBB'ers,
I took a very quick detour around 6 pm today to the
egret rookery at Palo Alto Baylands & Duck Pond. There
were 8 immature Black-crowned Night Herons at the
water's edge. Another was up in the palm tree (if
that's what these trees are), behind fronds, while an
adult perched nearby in the open. One of the pond-edge
birds spread its wings and hopped up and down, as if
it knew what it should do but hadn't quite got the
hang of it yet. 
Up in the trees there were lots of egrets. One flapped
and I could see its brownish underwings, which I take
to be a sign of immaturity.
The wonderful gargling noise coming from all around is
so unexpected, it makes me laugh. This area is such a
treat.
