My apologies to EJ...it appears one of his Egrets has come north to Canada. This young Egret showed up again in creek yesterday morning and I could not refrain from taking pictures of him. Some have asked how I get so close to these birds...I must explain. Pretty well all these water birds are taken on creek in Nature Preserve. This creek is maybe 30 yards at most in width and about 200 yards long. It is right beside the road with some areas of 10 yards of shoulder off road to bank of creek. I drive my van on to shoulder and get right close to bank and take my pictures from front seat of van out the window and i am using a 300mm telephoto lens. The van acts as a blind. So it does allow me to get very close sometimes to birds and they see the van and not me and are not scared away.
