Eastern Great Egret

Ardea modesta

Description:

An egret hanging out at the Clearwater Beach docks, probably hoping to snag some food from fishermen.

Habitat:

Coastal waters, lakeshores, wetlands

Notes:

This egret was rather complacent, probably because it's surrounded by people all day. I'm cautious, though, since these birds have a very quick and sharp beak.
