Never Saw One of These Before

Not an egret, although I've heard tell they are in the area. This is a white Great Blue Heron. All the markings are there, but it is white where the others are blue-gray. When it flew away, the wings were all white nearer the body, and still had the black banding near the wing tips.

And very, very shy. We were on the other bank, and it still flew off.
