04/13/2012 Great Egret at the Fort Worth Nature Center

This past Friday (the 13th) afternoon, my son and I visited the Fort Worth Nature Center as we often do.  In general, it was again a pretty quiet day as it had been the last few times we had been there.  We were contemplating leaving when a Great Egret flew in and landed on a tree just across the river (next to the Crosstimber Trail).   It was overcast but the white bird was vivid against the dark trees and green leaves and he appeared in no hurry to leave.  We stayed for a while longer and took a number of shots.  Here are some of the images I made during the afternoon.   link
