I love to watch them.<br />On Lake Wateree there is a tree that when it becomes roosting time it looks like a Christmas tree lit up with white lights. It's fascinating to see.Twisted Fenceposthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973165692768831966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-53293395625752367792010-08-08T21:40:15.399-04:002010-08-08T21:40:15.399-04:00Wow, it's lovely.

I never got into birdwatching but I always wish I knew what I was looking at!<br /><br />I've had the darnedest time commenting on Blogger blogs lately, not just yours -- frustrating, but I have been reading at least to keep up! I'm hoping that if I can ship the kids off to school in a few weeks, I can actually manage a phone call to catch up with you -- so much to hear and tell with a year gone by, but I just can't seem to catch up anywhere. I'm buried in immigration red tape and more -- your posts have been a wonderful break from it all!Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-71045147851608715522010-08-05T13:41:04.345-04:002010-08-05T13:41:04.345-04:00I've had the Snowy Egret in the ponds on our f...I've had the Snowy Egret in the ponds on our farm in Ct. too! They are so elegant! One pond in Pleasant Valley I have seen the Snowy Egret, Snowy Owl and the Snow Goose should change the name to Snow Valley. They know a bit of God's Country when they see it.Carolyn Stearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529454359380716038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-18609137054852196912010-08-05T12:56:32.296-04:002010-08-05T12:56:32.296-04:00Beautiful bird!

I wondered why the bird would be here now since it seems early or late for migration. I hope it is healthy and lost and not sickly and weak from traveling. I did not see it this morning, so perhaps it moved on.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-57476415730842833792010-08-05T10:45:53.748-04:002010-08-05T10:45:53.748-04:00You are correct...it is an Egret.

I volunteer at the Wildlife Rescue & Education Center in Houston and we have seen many more this year than usual. They are having parasites that are bringing them to our center. This one may have needed a break and will return south when your temps drop. It will gain strength and hopefully move on before your weather gets to cold. Then again, you have had such a hot summer it may have decided if it's gonna get hotter maybe this is far enough...LOL...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-79512436120266820952010-08-05T10:14:44.221-04:002010-08-05T10:14:44.221-04:00That looks like a snowy egret - they're all ov...That looks like a snowy egret - they're all over in Florida.Mountainwordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011071025161667391noreply@blogger.com
