Great egrets don't usually flock - mostly I see them solitary on the shores of the lakes or even the side of the road. But today as I was driving in there was a whole group of them at one end of the lakes -- about 5 or 6 in the sky, huge wingspans overlapping, and a score more huddled together in the water. It was an amazing sight -- and one that nearly had me crashing the car! Still, a nice way to start the morning.
