Cattle Egret

I took probably my last trip, (of many) of our stay in South Carolina to the Port Royal Cypress Wetlands on this evening. One of the birds I've really wanted to see is a Cattle Egret. I've seen pictures of them and they seemed to be really unique and beautiful. As the light was fading and I was ready to leave I saw a different color Egret fly by and land in a nearby tree. Sure enough it was my bird! I didn't want to goof this one up and was concerned about the fading late day light. I was delighted to find in editing that things worked out and I got some decent captures and even some in flight shots as it flew away. Great day of birding!
