Fishing egrets

I had planned to end this gallery, but we went back to the 700-acre Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in Washington, D.C., to take another stab at photographing one of the resident herons. We did see one, but once again it was quite far away and in the shadows so I don’t think we got many usable shots of it. However, there was a group of four Great Egrets who stuck around for quite a while and were happy to let us photograph them, unfortunately mainly from quite a distance.

An abundance of lotuses, posted earlier:
