I took this photo at the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in California. I was there shooting at sunrise and stayed till sunset. It is a photographers paradise and it is easy to get to. I got some incredible shots. This shot of the Egret gliding and getting ready to land was one of the nicest sights to see while I was there. Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve has several kinds of birds and it is one of my favorite places to go take photos of migrating birds.
FYI: Like all egrets, it is a member of the heron family, Ardeidae. Traditionally classified with the storks in the Ciconiiformes, the Ardeidae are closer relatives of pelicans and belong in the Pelecaniformes instead. The Great Egret�unlike the typical egrets�does not belong to the genus Egretta but together with the great herons is today placed in Ardea. In the past, however, it was sometimes placed in Egretta or separated in a monotypic genus Casmerodius.
