Johnston Lake, Bird Sanctuary. LSs of birds wheeling in the air over the lake, fair size flocks. Cut to MCU of a cormorant nest, eggs. Cut to cormorant chicks in nest. MLS of mass of pelicans and cormorants together in the rocks, stretching their necks, fidgeting. Cut to the nest of the Great Blue Heron in the rocks, chicks in nest. MLS of herons wading in shallow waters, perched on rocks. Relatively closer shots of the Blue Heron on rocks, of a single heron knee deep in water. A large flock of pelican chicks move in a mass on the rocky beach while a man walks by in the background. Closer of mass of birds always in movement, two men in background stand by. Birds don't seem to mind the men being there. Shots of flock taking to the water, floating. Shots of pelicans on the wing in the distance.
