Great Egret Leaving Its Perch

This egret just took off from its perch in a tall fir tree. I love catching them in flight. There they look so graceful with their 6 foot wingspan and long neck tucked in for flying.

A cool fact from 'All About Birds' https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Egret/overview):

"The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, one of the oldest environmental organizations in North America. Audubon was founded to protect birds from being killed for their feathers."
