Great Egret

I regret having disturbed this Great Egret at the Ponds yesterday. She/he was hunting for fish in the water amid the Cattails (which had seen better days) as I walked along the trail.
 
The behavior of Great Egrets at the Ponds is so different from that of Egrets at the rookery in Petaluma, that they seem like different species (which, of course, they are not).
 
P. S. ~ I love watching the contortions these birds do with their necks.
