Great Blue Heron and Great Egret: York County, Maine, USA, October 2023 — we had a flood-tide this week…maybe the second highest I have seen along this coast…the road to our local beach was only about 6 inches above high water (I saw it over the road once), and the birds took advantage of the newly flooded marsh to hunt for treats. Both the Great Blue Heron and the Great Egret were working within 30 yards of the road…the Egret closer than the Heron. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent.
