Yesterday we were having our picnic lunch at Boat Meadow when I looked at my side window and there was a little Egret that had just landed between the cars. He was just adorable.
I quickly got my camera but only got one click. This is it!
I’ve never had an Egret so close to me. He was no farther than 4 feet away. He looked up at me for a few seconds and probably realized where he was and flew away.
What a fun experience!

“Aigrette,” for brush, after the long feathers
that stream down its back…”
