Of Cormorants & Egrets
These sultry afternoons on the Sound are calm and quiet.
It’s perfect weather to drift quietly around by boat and take a peek at colonial waterbird sites.
The northwestern tip if Ram Island houses Great Egrets roosting in thick vegetation – with old branches layered high ,the nests are large but hidden well.
Farther out, on South Dumpling a large colony of Double Crested Cormorants proclaim “squatters rights” to just the one dead tree on Isle.
