Great Egret – Head Dive
This Great Egret stalked towards me in the dark waters of the Fakahatchee Strand, looking for a meal.
Beginning to pass me by, s/he froze and ever so slowly stretched that neck out…..way out.
Great Egret – “Neck Stretch”
Great Egret – “I See You”
Great Egret – “Strike”
Great Egret – “Dive Retreat”
Great Egret – “Success”
A quick gulp, and then the Great Egret continued its stealth stalking past me without a glance my way.
