This is the second heron of the three hanging around the Poggy Bay marsh last week.

Last Friday we saw four herons at the Poggy Bay marsh landing. This was the adult. One of the juveniles also at the marsh was shown in a post earlier. We will show you the others over the next few days.

These geese were among a large multitude of other geese on the pond.

A young night heron was spotted at the Poggy Bay marsh the other day. Two other juvenile birds were nearby.

The osprey shown in the previous post spent the entire fifteen minutes we were near their nest flying overhead, staring at us and voicing displeasure.

On our recent recon of the Great Marsh, we caught one of the osprey parents at the nest (it has been reported there are chicks in the nest). Shortly after this encounter, the bird started to fly around above us with a distinct and noisy expression regarding our presence near the nest.

While walking on the edge of the Great Marsh in southeastern Connecticut this weekend, we disturbed an egret sitting in a tree. The bird flew back along the trail and settled on a new perch. It just so happened to be on our way back, so we got an image of the bird anyway.

If you are a fish, this could be the last thing you ever see.
