I'm not sure that some of what I'm calling Great Egrets might not be immature Little Blue Heron. Today, there were 4 white waders. One of them stayed away from the other three. At one point in time, the three were all perched on the Egret Tree. If anyone visits and IDs them positively, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Comments: Met Park Ranger on the trail today and had a nice
talk. Took pictures of a snake, saw a large black snake, took pictures of
a skeleton and a skink's tail (the body was buried in dirt). Picked up trash,
trimmed the branches from the big limb that fell near the fishing hole, and
generally did trail maintenance.
