There are a few of us amature photo takers that have a pet name that we call any large white bird found at or near the restrooms located at the entrance area of the wildlife refuge. We call him/her Eggy. Now understand that there is one particular Egret that has made a permnent home in this area. But we suspect that Eggy may really be several different birds.
Eggy has been known to waltz across the paved parking area within 10 feet of many of us – after we have put away all the camera’s! Eggy knows.
If you are unfortuanate enought to have to use the facilities Eggy has been known to be right there at the door when you exit – scaring the heck out of yah.
If you change lenses and take off the zoom lense Eggy will almost always fly and walk just out of your lenses range for a good shot. Eggy knows.
Today Eggy sat in a tree right off the walkway. Silently we approach – taking mins to travell what should have taken seconds. Just as your close enough for a detail revealing shot and look down to adjust your white balance or tripod Eggy takes off. Everyone of course misses the flight shot. I tell ya Eggy knows.
