I got a chance to watch the sun rise over the impoundment this morning, and it was truly an experience in gratitude and wonder. The silhouettes of the marsh islands were perfectly reflected in the water, a tiny bat fluttered against the skyline, herons called and croaked as they searched for new fishing spots, and pied billed grebes danced in and under the water. Kate noticed a fast-moving disturbance in the water, and a trio of otters dipped right past the closest island, making their way toward the crabbing dock. A pair of bald eagles has taken over the osprey platform over near the Smiths and Saueracker’s houses… perhaps they are thinking of nesting there. Another piece of everyday magic on the island.
You must have edited that PINK. Wow. What a fabulous photo.
And that’s exciting news about the eagles on the osprey platform. The only eagle nest I’ve seen was in a tree near the Anna Hyatt Huntington beach estate (Anatola) near Brookgreen. It was big as a Volkswagon. Wonder if these fellows will enlarge the small platform? Keep us posted, please.

White balance! The photos are just the way they came from the camera… in this case it turned out to be a happy accident that I shot them without resetting the white balance from flourescent.
Beautiful!
Awesome pictures Judy!!
