Neighborhood Crane


Here's one for my aunt Carol who requested "more birds please". This is in my brother-in-law's front yard. This bird has taken up residence in the neighborhood. (in Florida) I don't have a bird book handy, so if anybody knows exactly what this is, let me know.

    An egret? Maybe.

    I'd call it a Great Egret, what with the yellow bill and dark legs and feet.

    Yeah, I just got back from the Tampa Aquarium and I saw a bird labeled Great Egret and it seemed to be the same thing.

    Thanks Rex! There sure are plenty of lizards around that neighborhood.
