Still At It

Even though the day was winding down, an egret was still out there in the marsh pond fishing for one last meal.

I watched as the bird struck at the water, which was warmed by setting sunlight, with no success. As he continued along on his way, the egret was walking toward me into the darker area of the pond to finish out his day.

  Thanks Maggie. I have to get a bit lucky with these. I need the sun, time of day, and the wildlife to all cooperate.
