Great Egret flying at Delta Ponds 8/7/2025

By Greg Giesy

I was with a birding group when we found a Great Egret standing on a log in one of the ponds at Delta Ponds.  The group was very happy to see the Egret on the log close to where we were standing.  I was wanting a better shot with some action.

I waited until the Egret raised its wing and jumped into the water.  After getting into the water with its wings still raised it started to fly with water dropping off its legs and staying just a few feet off the water resulting in these photos.
