A Great Egret (Ardea albus) moves on to another fishing spot in a salt marsh.
There were a lot of birds flying at the salt marsh today including this Bald Eagle Juvenile (Haliaeetus leucocephalus).
The Ospreys (Pandion haliagetus) were out in force today diving for River Herring or Alewifes. The herring move into estuaries (a partially enclosed body of brackish water with one or more streams flowing into it and with a free connection to the ocean) and swim upstream to breed in fresh water and then swim back out to the ocean. The Ospreys are waiting for the herring as they move into and out of the estuary.
