Our Great Egrets have been gone now a couple weeks, headed to warmer temps for their winter. Taken about a month ago, I had missed posting this Great Egret doing a little fishing, with some dramatic flair.

“Oh boy, I see them”

“Ever so slowly….”

It was entertaining to watch this Great Egret work the wetlands, getting fish after fish!
