Egrets Still Here

 Egret and reflection

I'm always surprised to see egrets here in October because I think of them as being "exotic" visitors to Ontario.  After all, we have had a hard frost and there was a thin layer of ice on this water a few hours before I took this photo. They are hardier than they look!

Patiently fishing

Apparently they will stay in our marshes until they completely freeze over, or as long as they can find aquatic treats.
I am linking to Saturday Critters HERE.

  4. Hello, beautiful captures of the Egret and the reflection. I think the birds will stick around as long as they can find food. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!

  5. Your so right about egrets being hardy. Our Little Egrets are now more common than Grey Herons which are much bigger than the egrets. I hope your other species pick up soon.

  9. I really like this reflection! I haven't seen any egrets on our small reservoir.... only Canada geese and swans and ducks.

  11. Strange eh? The cormorants are still hanging on at Frenchman's Bay. They should be out of here soon.

  18. Egrets were a symbol to me of unreachable ethereal beauty, just spots of distant white across lakes and rivers, I didn't get to see them up close through someone's camera lens, marvelous shots, Tina!
