The boat trip we took to see these birds was the best way to see them. They feed out on the marshy edge of Blackjack Peninsula, far from any roads. There are moments of excitement, however, like when a crane wades into water and nabs its favorite, a Blue Crab. Otherwise, this is how they pass their days.
