The Great Egret encounter: Classic pose

Two Great Egrets left the others in the marsh and flew closer to us, which was sure helpful for picture taking! This will be a series of what we observed, interspersed with other photos.

*****

I had planned to end this gallery, but we went back to the 700-acre Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in Washington, D.C., to take another stab at photographing one of the resident herons. Along the way to the marsh we saw lots of other things, including more lotuses, water lilies and dragonflies.

Lovely! No big birds close to where we live, although many years ago a great heron showed up in someone's little pond.
