Description
The Great Egret (Casmerodius albus)
Distinguished from the snowy egret by its greater size (wingspan can be over 50 inches), its yellow bill, and black legs and feet, the Great Egret can be spotted on Assateague from spring through fall, often along the main road at the edge of the water in a marsh.

A lovely picture, really well caught. The droplets from the birds feet show that it has just taken off.

Well done! Fabulous image.
I took a photograph of one of these egrets in its mating plumage. It is also in the myshots birds folder.

Great shot of this bird in flight. Excellent capture of the wingspan and the reflections on the water.
