Today’s Bird: a Great Egret, I’m pretty sure! Just chilling on the balcony railing, plumes billowing in the wind.

@leafnoodle Oooh, very pretty!

We had snowy egrets sometimes in the field near my house when I was younger. They're breathtaking.

...what state are you in, actually? I forget, but those hills powerfully remind me of home, in the East Bay Area of California. :-)

@emanate North Bay! Petaluma, specifically.

We get snowys too which is what I thought it was, but then I looked up the difference and was surprised! Makes sense with how big it was, though.

@leafnoodle Ah! Nice, yeah, a little familiar with that area. So pretty. :-)

I guess I didn't realize they were different. Now that I look it up, yup, gotcha.
