The island in the middle of the lake is the habitat for many birds. Once a year, egrets, great egrets, great blue herons, and black-crowned night herons gather here to breed. The white spots that dot the tree line this time around are the egrets, and the bird monitoring season has begun. Thu great egret stands on the branch like a goddess in the sculpture. The breeze blows and the feathers ruffle like a wave. The female heron has already started to incubate her eggs like a patient and good mother. The black-crowned night heron also comes in and out, busy feeding its young. I’ve been doing work with environmentalist Larry to help him record data on various birds. Larry is nearly eighty years old, already past the age of retirement. But he’s still doing his best for bird protection organizations out of passion. It’s very heartwarming to see. From the records, the number of birds of various types that come here to reproduce is increasing every week, and it is about to enter the peak period. I hope to see more little egrets and herons this year.
