Great Egret, Pelham Bay Park, Bronx NY

I see this Great Egret almost every evening during my walks around the neighborhood.

It is fun and calming to watch him (her?) walk through the water and occasionally catch a fish.

This cat is a frequent visitor. He stands as still as a statue and seems to have high hopes of catching something for himself.

The planes overhead don’t seem to bother him (one evening I counted 41 in a one hour walk).

But he takes off when a fisherman gets too close in the water while cooling off.

Other birds enjoy the sun and water, too.

It’s just sad to see how they all have to live among our trash.
