Egrets... I've had a few,

but then again, too few to mention...

I've been enjoying my lunch-time hikes at the Don Edwards Nature Reserve in sunny Alviso, California. Today, Mike and I got realllly close to this Great White Egret before it took flight.

Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge

This is where I've been going for lunch time walks recently.

Just a five minute drive from our office, this refuge provides more than 9 miles of trails. It's on the Pacific Migration path, so there are a lot of birds.

I've been seeing pelicans, egrets, herons, swallows, and stilts.
