Great Egret

Ardea alba

Description:

This egret was in a tree in the middle of the river when I first saw. When I came back 30 minutes later it had moved closer to the bank and let me take some really nice pictures of it.

Habitat:

Perkiomen Creek bank

Notes:

I was trying to get a picture of a blue heron, but the heron got spooked when the egret landed next to it! I think the egret was jealous and wanted its picture taken!
