It’s unusual to see an egret perched on a beaver lodge, normally we see them wading in the water or fishing. The bird stood there for quite a while and I managed to get him in several poses, the first of which is shown here. Most summers we see several egrets and herons in this one location, not last year. The lake was very high which must have made for challenging conditions. They likely found some easier spots to fish.

Lovely detail – was this egret far away? I see many and some are perched in branches of trees but too far away for my lens

Thank you. Close enough with my 70-200mm and a bit of cropping.

Very nice shot! It’s so easy to blow out the bright whites on these birds and lose the feather detail, but your Egret is very detailed!
