Summary

[edit]
Description

The egrets raiding my fish pond have been briefly spotted before, but this was the first time I had a camera.

I was half a block from home when a pair of great egrets flew over our head. I said to Patty, "Bet they are headed to our place. Ha, ha."

We get home and sure enough, there's an egret on my roof and another in the tallest tree in my backyard.

As these images were taken, a cat (George Washington) was racing up the other side of the roof.

I don't know what a cat weighing 9 pounds planned to do with a bird with a 1 meter wingspan, but the egrets didn't wait around to find out.

I have an iron grate over the pond these days, so they would not have gobbled up my goldfish, anyway. I win this round.
