The river holds so many surprises
least of which is the sudden appearance
at water’s edge of a tall white egret –
a countenance I acquaint with Texas
and warmer climes – what wonder
to find this greatness at my backdoor.
(The Great Egret is common in coastal areas, but not a bird I have encountered in Ontario, until now. Linking up with Granny Shot It’s Bird of the Day.)
Nice one

Wow! That is cool. I went and looked at 2 of my bird guides with range maps and found that your sighting is fairly uncommon.

Maybe he followed you … just took awhile to find you up there …??

Your photo captures the elegance of the egret perfectly! I would never have imagined an egret in Ontario.

Can’t ever remember having seen one here before, although the locals say they have. Thanks Liz. Happy he dropped by.
