An Afternoon Stroll

Mt. Dora, Florida, USA

A Great White Egret on an afternoon stroll.

I was at this park in Mt. Dora, when this beautiful and very elegant bird came by.

Not the place I suspected to see it, but it was a delightful treat.!

This was the closest I have ever been to a White Egret.

With long legs they are adapted to walk slowly around in shallow waters.

When it gets its eyes on something edible, let's say a tasty frog, it will completely freeze. And when the timing is right, a quick throw forward with the long neck and it snaps the unsuspecting prey.
