I don’t know why he was yelling at me.

Leaning against a tree in this swamp I watched the Great Egret fly right to me. Then he was squawking at me as he landed… on the other side of my tree.

Not sure where he finally dropped down I looked around the tree.

So did he.

Not wanting to scare him I stayed where I was, the Egret moved off down the swamp to my right.

I had hoped he would take off in front of me, which was why I waited. Well, he only made the ‘too close’ mistake once. Still I did get these shots.
