I happened to drive through a flat farmland earlier in the week, and some areas were flooded from recent rain.  There were many great blue herons and great egrets, which was an amazing sight.  I sometimes see them at lakes in my neighborhood but not that many at one time.  Also, I think there was a flock of turkey vultures at the edge of the water.  They were very far and it was difficult to make sure they were turkey vultures, but I think they were because I saw many turkey vultures circling in the sky prior to that.  They were just "hanging out" with some of them stretching their wings, together with other species, and I didn't know they would hang out by the water like that.  They almost looked like some kind of cormorants from far, but I don't think we have cormorants in my area.
