This is not the highest tech photo, but I got a kick out of it. I think the egret was more interested in what was in the bait bucket then anything else. I looked to me like he had discovered a less strenuous way of fishing.

Neat photo Richard. These guys are way better fishermen than most people but I guess the grass is always greener.

Actually this is not an egret. It is a relatively rare white morph of of the great blue heron, aka great white heron. They are most common in the Florida Keys. I've only see one a few times. Where were you when you made this picture?

Buck you are right. I did not really pay attention. But as I look at it it is a white morph. I was taken at the end of seven mile bridge in the Keys.
