I’ve commented before on birds’ desire to occupy the highest point. This applies even if it is just a clump of sticks in the pond. We’ve had a lot of wind lately and small branches and other debris is getting pushed around in the ponds. This Great Egret found an attractive twig collection to drop in on.
Then it started to sink and he took off, straight up into the air.
One flap of the wings and he was off.
Banking smoothly left he decided to try another spot.
They are just so gorgeous as they take flight – you’ve captured him perfectly Ellen!
They suer are—and they make it look so easy. Thanks, Tina!
Great captures Ellen.
Thank you, Greta!
