Great Egret in a slow and steady pass over a swamp.
The bird was along the edge of the open water when I first walked on to the trail. I try to spend some time quietly standing among the Cypress trees watching to see just what may be happening. More than once I have stumbled on, and scared a group of birds or found a gator between the big tree trunks.

Watching for a bit can produce a few opportunities, like this, I could have easily missed.


Beautifully captured – your patience paid off 🙂
I have to admit, the swamps and marshes here help me. Patience is not something I have a lot of. Thanks for visiting, dig around I still have thousands of wildlife images here.
Certainly will…thanks 🙂
