The Great Egret

I've herd of them but I don't think I've even seen one let alone photograph one. It just started showing up and I hope to get lots more shots.

Keep hoping - keep trying - and maybe the bird will become used to seeing you and allow you to get close enough to get some beauties

I'm always up for a challenge but this will be a tough one.

So far, the only place I've seen it is outside the gate to our complex. Which means I have to be lucky enough for it to be located so I can shoot through the gate. Or, like today, open the gate and tip it off. I approached while trying to shield myself behind a tree and was able to get a few shots but it took off.

It may be my imagination but most of the birds here seem to be quite a bit more shy and difficult to sneak up on than the ones where I lived in NY.
