I was watching, taking an occasional shot, Great Egrets, Herons, and Alligators out in a marsh. They were a little too far for much but I hoped a few would come closer.

Movement to my left made me turn to see one of them had flown over without me noticing.

This Egret dropped down on the dirt road next to me.

As I grabbed a few shots he walked into the tall grass down to the water.

Not what I had expected at all but a nice surprise.
