17 October 2010. The Great Heron and the shrike, with a walk-on appearance by James Curlew, of English descent...something about the small head, quite round, and long curve of beak... Numeneus arquata--the Eurasian variety... Or his cousin, numeneus americanus, going after those wiggly things--water-hopper, amphibean, ghost-shrimp, worm...
The heron, however, witholds herself--a form of royalty--her willowy reserve. Far-seeing wanderer, over miles of lagoon. The shallow-flooded fields, crops of winter wheat, millet and rice. A Delta blessing...
Ni Tsan...
