White Rock lake, lower spillway

The Gang's All Here
Three turtles, a snowy egret and a first spring little blue heron. Snowys tolerate little blue herons, possibly because the lbh babies and juveniles are all white for their first year and they tend to stay near snowys for protection and better fishing opportunities.
