Return of the Egret
Yesterday, Saturday, January 31, 2004, I awoke and went into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and jump start my liver. I looked out the window toward my pond and saw an Egret, about 3 feet tall, standing at the edge of the pond. I rushed back to the bedroom to get my camera but by the time I could get it focused the bird flew away. Later, to my dismay, I discovered he had dined on my fish. All except two or maybe three small ones are gone. I had over 25 gold fish, some good size and they were holding up quite well in the cold weather and water of the pond. An Egret visited the pond and ate my fish in the early days of 2003.
