Great Egret Walking

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge - Lipsec, Delaware
October 9th, 2022
While visiting the new pool at Bombay Hook (my wife and I call it Night Heron Pool as there are many night herons that roost there), I caught this Great Egret strolling across the exposed pool bed. I love his long strides as he walks and how the early morning light made the colors of the moss and grass growing on the exposed pool bed pop with color. The silhouette of the bird accenting the beak and edges of the bird's feathers completes the shot nicely.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
