I spend a lot of my retired summer days chasing after Egrets and Herons. I've been fortunate to get permission on a piece of property that has provided me with some great photo opportunities.

Here are a few shots of Great Egrets.

Interesting to see the difference in size between a Great Egret, and a Snowy Egret.
