Whatever it was, there was lots of wildlife around.  First thing I noticed was this small bird, a Killdeer, running along the shore.  He just finished taking a drink when I snapped this picture.

Further along the shore, we spot some large white birds, Egrets.  I’ll be the first to admit that taking pictures of birds is not my specialty, but this one Egret looked so determined to catch something I decided to be patient.

Look at the intensity on this Egret hunting fish.
