Egret Landing

Along the same area at our local dam, we have a variety of waterfowl, including cormorants, herons, pelicans and these graceful birds, the Great Egrets. This one caught my attention as it initially made a coupld of fly-bys over the area. It then proceeded to head for the brick wall of the building across the river from my spot. This image of it landing on the wall was my absolute favorite... hovering in mid-air, like a ballet dancer coming down from a leap through the air. It makes me smile each time I look at it.
