Saw this guy yesterday way off in the distance and would not have even tried to shoot him except that it was my first sighting of this species. My guess is that he's a Great Egret. It wasn't long before he flew off. The wetlands guide says they are uncommon here.

Thanks for viewing.

Dave and Dennis - thanks much for the ID and the comments. I can now add this guy to my relatively short list of birds I've actually seen. Hope to get a lot closer one day!
