The great egret saga: Departure (6/6)

The last of my egret shots taken at Constitution Gardens. It was a real surprise to see them -- the first time in all the years we’ve been going there – and I thought it was a one-time thing, but the other day, we saw one in the lake while driving by. Hopefully they’ll become residents, or at least regular visitors.
