In The Begining

In the beginning, when the earth was new,
birds had no feet but only flew.
When they crashed upon their nose,
Mother Nature gave them toes.
Then they dined standing on the beach,
catching all the fish within their reach.
And when they fought for fish to eat,
Mother Nature stretched their feet.
"Nobody here can fall asleep!
So, you long-legged birds, fish in the deep.
Short-legged birds, fish near the shore,
And stop that fighting! You hear? No more!"

Eastern Great Egret

Eastern Great Egret in North Central Florida
What is so great about this bird? Is it because he is an egret or because he is from the east? Either way it is a beautiful bird. This picture comes from the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida.
