A quick shot, taken at an awkward angle but an Egret just has a way of creating a good photograph.

Ibis And Snowy Egret
The Snowy, usually a fairly aggressive bird, looked confused by the Ibis. I expected some feathers to be flying any moment.
Not even a little peep from either of them. The Ibis went about poking for food, the Egret seemed to be lurking close by to perhaps snatch whatever the Ibis found.

Old Rice Field, Wide View
Best viewed in full screen.
This day I had my backup camera with me. I’ve looked at this view a hundred times, but I don’t think I’ve ever shot it as a wide landscape.
I probably would have missed this too except I just needed to grab the other gear and shoot.
The Egret and other small birds added a little extra.
Great Egret, Some Grass Is Still Green
The end of November and we still have some green around. It made a nice back drop to the Egret here.
Sunset Reflections, Marsh
We had planned to be out by dark.
We did get caught up in shooting over the marsh. Pretty much..take a shot, wait…repeat, a lot.
Snowy Egret In Dry Marsh Grass
The dry and drab marsh grasses added a nice contrast to this little Snowy. Not a bit of excitement here. The Egret was doing exactly what they do 90% of the time. Sitting and scratching.
I think we might not see any in the marshes at all soon. Colder weather seems to push them to the shore, and a little south.
Great Egret Up Close
Found an Egret and a patch of sun at the same time.
Great Egret
While I do try to keep the environment in my photographs I don’t hide the main subject. Except in cases like this. The wooden pylons provided a little character.
The bird never did fly away, even after I walked right by.
The old rice field water gates (trunk) were right there so I assume the fish were more important than me.
