Today, for example, I will offer you the photo below to ponder. I spent about 2 hours frozen on a patch of uneven rocks and walking through muck, to get some unbelievable images of Great Egrets fishing for food. The area I frequent is a small man made nature preserve pond.Egrets, Great Blue Heron, King Fishers, Seagulls, Cormorants, Ducks and even very, very large fish frequent this pond. And... so do these clowns..... enough said. My legs were aching from standing with my heels higher than my toes and I had my fill. The question is this, what on earth are these people fishing for? Lake Ontario is polluted, I wouldn't swim in it much less eat ANYTHING that comes out of it. We don't even drink the water without running it through a filter (although, the city does a great job with the water, it is always highly rated, but my attitude is I don't want to be the filter for anything missed!). You could hear them coming as there is no natural pathway to this destination and yet, there they are! Sometimes, its a photographer, sometimes the fishermen and more often than not, a dog walker whose dog is not on a leash.[ATTACH]16278[/ATTACH]7 Egrets and 1 Great Blue Heron one minute....and then they are gone!</blockquote>
