This bird was busy preening, and it took me a few minutes of trying to distract him to get him to finally look up so I could get a photo

Nice shot! I've been waiting for them to return to Central Pennsylvania.

Good one, Todd.

There are a lot of egrets around town now - all over the place, but not where you'd want to photograph them. They seem to like empty lots in new subdivisions!

Thanks Jer. I imagine that you must have a lot of frogs and other small critters on the empty lots that attract them.

OMG!! What a brilliant image. Many thanks for sharing. Having that marsh in the background is definitely a shot in the arm.

Thanks Tony! It is a great spot for seeing ducks, egrets and herons in the winter and spring. However, in a few weeks it will be dried up.
