The Great White Egret Walk: August 29, 2008

Seen or heard:

A family of raccoons lounging about their den, tamarack bog.


The resonant drumbeat of a pileated woodpecker and a glimpse of red, white and black in the air, Luckey’s Landing.

Two Great White Egrets visiting Onion Bottom. These blindingly white birds always make me think of the biblical story of the transfiguration.

Many thistles in bloom.

Indian Grass in full flower

Swamp Milkweed, one of my favorite wildflowers, lining the banks of Onion Bottom.
