Who would have guessed

that you would see this many egrets behind a mulcher on a coffee plantation?  This is another photo from the Kaanapali plantation in Maui, Hawaii.  It was just crazy to me that we would see these birds here of all places.  We have quite a few egrets, here on our island in Oregon. In fact I counted 8 a one time in one of our fields this winter.  I believe the variety we have is the Great Egret. You will see them hunt for mice, voles and such in the fields, but you will never see them grouped together like this bunch.

Speaking of birds, the geese and sandhill cranes are almost gone now.   Our crops can use the break and start growing.  Wahoo, its Spring!
