Great Egret

Description

Creatures of habit, not unlike ourselves. This Great Egret has a real preference for this one stump, and spends the better part of each day in its proximity. He spent two hours today, fending off all who would dare to approach. He spent a good hour of that two standing on one leg. An odd looking, but common practice for them to preserve heat, relax, and to fool fish.
