Sanibel Island, Night Heron

Artwork ID # 2306-36727-22

" A black-crowned night heron stood on an apron of wet sand, looking across the channel. A feather plume at the back of his head lifted in a faint breeze. Out there in the channel...schools of anchovies, halibut, and sea bass came and went: silver flashes, small storms. that well up from the inside of the sea but are short-lived, like lightning. "
