Got An Itch!

I have seen only one or two Great Egrets at Delta Ponds this year. Of course, because of heart surgery I missed much of spring. So there may have been more then. But right now, I see only one/ I caught it at the right moment as it had an itch. When you have an itch, scratch it! So it did!

A fun and well-shot image, Vern! I love that his head and neck are all fluffed out in the process too. Great job.
