Thanks, Eileen, wish I’d been on the other side of the lake, but then I probably would have scared it away. Happy day to you!

They are all great shots, but the one fleeing is superb, so crisp and just remarkable. Blessings to you, Patti…

Thanks, Carol Ann. Wish I could have gotten closer, but we were divided by a lake–and I wasn’t up for a swim! Blessings to you!

Ha ha. A swim wouldn’t have done much good for your camera.

allaboutbirds.org says they’re 37-40.9″ tall, wing span 51.6-57.1″ Yes, it’s a big bird, just a bit smaller than the Great Blue Heron.

Thanks, Denise. I like to watch them do “bird things” and get an unusual shot (hopefully). They are pretty.

The egret is handsome or beautiful for sure but I am so taken with how green every thing is! So much green all over the streets of blogville! Nice to see all the pretty green! Do think the reflections of white on the water are very pretty!
