The Bird D'pot


Great White Egret
(3 -3.5 ft tall and wingspan of 4.5 feet)



I rarely see the Great Egret flying toward me so I hustled to get my car window open and grabbed a few shots before he passed over me.  They are beautiful, especially in flight.

...beautiful indeed. And, ever so graceful for their size. Awesome photos.

Thanks for linking up at the Bird D'Pot this week.

I agree, the great egrets are beautiful to watch. We don't have them here in the wild, so I have to wait till I go to Florida for my vacation to see them. You have a great night, hugs, Edna b.
