I don't go bird watching these days, mostly because I can't stand for long. And bird watching requires being silent and very still. I do watch from my car and I was amazed today when I backed out of my driveway and saw an egret walking along the bushes in a yard across the street. I have seen them in yards and gardens, but not recently. Since there was no traffic I just followed him as he walked and flew across the street to a more enticing yard. At one point he found a snack and swallowed it whole, and, I presume, alive. I imagine it was a sunbathing lizard.
He is almost on the front porch at Donna's house.
He strode along stretching his neck into the Lily-of-the-Nile.
This is a video, but I don't know how to make it move. Sorry.
I had my cell phone camera on and set it for video, but when I looked later I only had three seconds of video and a bunch of still images. Guess it is time for me to take some "how to use your phone camera" classes. In case he comes back.
By-The-Way: Today was Ruth B. McDowell's birthday. Hope it was a special day, Ruth.

Very cool. He looks like a statue in some of these shots.
