handmade ghost

Baby egrets are the Tom-Waits-iest, scroungiest, funkiest little babies. They were making a fantastic ruckus up in the trees this morning (in honor of @loren's birthday).

Anyway, the pines this year are way more lush than this time last year, so it was hard to pin down clear shots in the midst of all the fans and needles, but I did my best because Baby Egrets. 1/2

Photo--taken from far below and away through a tangle of pine branches--of a very new, white, semi-unfeathered baby heron. Eir eye is bright and yellow, eir shaggily spikey head peering out through a window of sky in the branches.
Photo of a sibling of the baby egret in the previous photo, long, yellow bill showing extended from eir weird yellow eye, eir face like a pair of alien scissors couched in a wild bed-head-y halo of feathers.
Photo of one of the baby egrets standing awkwardly in the nest (as seen through the cross cross of pine branches). Eir back is to the camera but e is looking over eir right shoulder, throat and wings naked in patches where eir feathers haven't come in yet. The sunlight is catching eir fuzzy crown, giving em a glorious, awkward, noble flair.
