[mou] Cattle Egret in Knife River

[Laura Erickson]

I got a call this morning from a woman in Knife River who has been seeing
a Cattle Egret in Knife River for two days.  When I came, the bird was
feeding along a ditch next to the main road through town (I think the one
from Emily's Cafe, though I turned in from the freeway).  I took a few
photos, though it was still murky and foggy when I was there.

One photo, details, and a link to more photos is at

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. 
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the
winter.
