Great Egret

The great egret is also known as the common egret, large egret or great white heron. It has all white plumage and stands up to 3 feet tall. It has a slow flight with its neck retracted.
They feed in shallow water mainly on fish, frogs and some insects. As I walk around the lake by my home, I see these birds all the time.
Today, however, I was amazed to see one on my front lawn.....it came walking along from my neighbors yard. I wonder why it was not by the lake?
