I believe that's what he's called. These birds always taunt us when we go on vacation (Myrtle Beach), as you always see them when you are without a camera. When you have the camera ready they are far away. I caught this one wee early in the A.M. from the golf cart. HA HA HA HA HA

So your a golfer Amanda, great sport.
yep it's a Great white Egret and a beautiful one too in this shot. They always remind me of a lady in a beautiful white Dress going out for the evening.
Excellent capture.

Thanks! Actually I took this one with my dad's camera...so it was a little better than it woulda been on mine haha.

And no I'm not a golfer, unless you would consider mini golf! ;)
The village we stay in uses golf carts to get around to the beach and back, to the pool, etc.
