Secret Spot with Waterlilies

A Great Egret in the area of the causeway that I call the Secret Spot. Lots of cover give a big bird a feeling of safety from the roadway. The marsh grasses are picking up late summer colors which is a great contrast to the bright white of the Egret.

Preening Tree

Three white egrets spend some morning time preening in a juniper tree in the marshes.

Perched atop a bright green cyprus, the large egret takes a break from feeding in the shallow causeway waters below.
