I was so excited to see a Great White Egret yesterday.
They are back here at the Jersey Shore and I could not be more excited.
And just to add to my excitement,
the pristine white Egrets are in their finest breading plumage.
Breeding plumage = a patch of neon green skin, on the face, near the yellow beak...
and pretty, long flowing plumes extending from it's back.
It was a super windy day and here it balanced easily on one leg.
On guard for sure,
this Great White Egret did not make it easy to capture these images!
And this was another "it's all about the moment" moment.
I was quite far from the big bird and these are the best images I could capture with the lens I have.
But it matters not, this was one of those special occasions,
in nature, the breezes blowing, the grasses crackling and appreciating this big beautiful bird.
With that said, I may need a bigger, better lens!

I hope the hubs is reading!

April 1st, ps...I ended up loving these images and I am very happy with the, not so close, distant view.
And the pretty grass and sparkling water surrounding the big bird!
