— Jersey Cape NATURALLY Consider the heron flying over the marsh. He sees in that green flatland more than an endless sea of grass which is our landlubber’s perception. From his bird’s-eye view, the marsh's hidden patterns emerge. Tidal creeks, edged in a bright green trim of cord grass, weave and dodge their way to the bay. The marsh face is pockmarked by tidal pools, salt flats and piles of dredge spoil. Man-made ditches, running in unnaturally straight lines, form unhealable scars across the marsh Occasionally, a ridge of elevated, tree-covered ground interrupts the grassland continuity The heron ignores it all. his attention attracted by,a silver shimmer in a tidal pool. . It's lunch - or more exactly, a school of saltmarsh killifish. abandoned to their fate by a receding tide which havleft them confined in a shallow pool. It’s been said that these little fish are so hardy that they will live for a week wrapped in wet newspaper and forgotten ih the refrigerator The heron’s intentions toward the fish are^, clearly otherwise as he turns into the wind, sets his wings, drops his feet, and at the last second disappears from our view in the tall grass edging the pool In my mind's eye I can see him still, doing what comes naturally Neck tilted sideways to reduce the sun's glare off the surface of the tide pool, he is stalking "minnies” in the tradition of his kind \ Text by Joan Galll I /(lustration by Marion Gtaspey
