Great White Egret

For several weeks, I tried getting a photo of a Great White Egret which I would see wading in the lake at Connetquot River State Park. It was always too far away for me to photograph, even with my best zoom lens. Last week, when I saw this one flying over the main house, I couldn't resist just snapping away. Later when I looked at the photos, I was delighted with this shot because I think it shows how magnificent and graceful this bird is in flight.
