Wonderful pictures of this magnificent bird! we don't have egrets in my area but occasionally a one will stop over in our province here in Canada making a rare visit. I have seen the great white heron in the Florida keys and loved the sighting and pictures I had taken. Your photos today remind me of that joyous sighting. Thank you for your visit and comment tyo my blog. Ann

I love herons and egrets. They look like such elegant creatures with their long necks. Really nice shots today. It's hard to catch them sometimes!

My goodness but he's lovely. I can see the heron relation i the head and face. It makes me anxious to see ours come back in the spring. *sigh*

One of my favorite species. It's not often we see the whites so this is a real treat.
