Great Egret In Shallow Water by 


This beautiful great egret was standing in very shallow water at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park in Homosassa, Florida. I thought it was interesting to see the position of his long feet.

Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.

    Beautiful! I love your POV on this one, Dot! This egret is free to come and go from the park.

  • Thanks, Judy. I should have pointed that out in the description. So many birds just love to hang out there. I guess they feel safe there, or the fishing is very good.
