This is a Great Egret in breeding colors and plumage. You really can’t see much of the plumage in this shot but just look at that green in its face. Even the Hulk would be impressed with that color. I took this pic in the late afternoon at Frank Melville Park. This is a good time of year and Frank Melville is a good place to catch these guys in action. Come down to the park and take a stroll. It’s a beautiful place. JK
That green really is unparalleled – but I find it less attractive when paired with the orange of one of our goldfish from our pond. I will have to recommend Frank Melville to our poacher.
Beautiful shot – I especially like the location.
Hi Jane. Thanks for stopping by. This was taken at the second pond at Frank Melville. The one across the street from Old Field Road. Both ponds are great for taking pics. JK
Dear Joe,
I’m the Arts & Lifestyles editor at the Times Beacon Record (Village Times Herald) – we did a story on you a few years back with Sue Wahlert. I publish a Photo of the Week in the paper and was wondering if you were interested in submitting this gorgeous Great Egret photo this week with the caption. My email is leisure@tbrnewspapers.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.

This shot should be FRAMED! It’s gorgeous — for the bird and the setting. Wonderful!
Michele, I don’t know that it’ll be framed but it looks like it will be appearing in the Times Beacon Record. JK.
WooooHOOOO!!! Congratulations! You should have a regular column there!
Heidi, are you listening? 🙂 JK.
