The Hitchhiker ~ This Cattle Egret was on the back of this large sheep this morning when I drove by a field in the San Jacinto Valley. There were about 6 "hitchhiking" egrets, and quite a few sheep with many little lambs. I thought it made a fun picture.
Brandt's Cormorant Family ~ This image shows one of the young cormorants who had been begging for food, about to put its head down the parent's throat, for feeding that yummy mixture of regurgitated fish. It doesn't look very appetizing, but they seem to be thriving on it!
Feeding Baby Brandt's Cormorants ~ This image shows a family with two young, with both parents present, one having just returned from the ocean with food for the babies. This shows one of the young with its head stuck deep into the parent's throat, to receive the regurgitated fish. Yum!
