That's a cattle egret. Not native to North America; they were brought here. In my community, they have become pests, nesting in residential areas, and turning roofs and sidewalk white with their excrement. Pretty birds, though:

The ultimate sleeper. I see a design flaw, though. If you got on that one with the windows rolled up, it would buckle the sheet metal when the blower kicked in.

I'm thinking it might not be that crowded... ;)

You got the pun. Well done.

I like this very much. The moody lighting and the enigmatic postures and expressions get my interest.

I was the sponsor for a photo club in a public school. Few kids had the money for Lightroom and other software. So I learned, GIMP and RawTherapee, and Luminance, and the others. Yes, it takes a little more time, but you can get very good results with these.
