Great Egret

Yesterday was a wet and cool day in Rhode Island. I took advantage of the weather and spent the afternoon weeding. The weeds come up much easier when the ground is wet, though I did get soaked in the process.

Late in the afternoon something caught my eye. When I turned to see, I was shocked to see a great egret (aka white heron) in the back yard. I'd never seen this type of bird at One Love Farm so I ran inside and grabbed my camera and took the pictures that you see posted here.
