A Late Afternoon Walk

Andy and Charlie and I took a walk late this afternoon and came upon this Great White Egret at the outlet to Crystal Lake. I guess he was fishing for his supper. Isn't he a handsome fellow?

Further info: I was about six to eight feet away from the egret and a chain link fence around the park separated us. The photo was obtained by putting the lens of my camera in the space between the "chain links" and using the telephoto.
