These Great Egrets don’t usually stick around, but this one stayed perched on this old tree branch that is buried in the mud at the entrance to Horsepen Bayou. This one hung around a bit longer than normal before taking to the air. This old tree is just one of many that have occupied this spot were Horsepen Bayou meets with Armand Bayou and dumps into Mud Lake.

I have no idea what was overhead or if he was just trying to fool me into looking overhead. I no longer look skyward when I’m in the canoe, because that really enjoy that nice comfortable DRY feeling…and my camera feels the very same way. Great Egret looking skyward on Armand Bayou.

He posed so nicely and then I failed to post the shot. A Great Egret gets nervous feet as the ol’ clown in the canoe terrorizes his neighborhood. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.
