We had seen a few of these birds in flight on previous trips but in the spring we came across this pair sitting right on the water. Like the great egret they are very skittish and this was the only shot I was able to get. The males can be quite large but both the male and the female are beautifully marked.

On the Potomac at Riverbend
Whether a newcomer or an "oldcomer" like me, I urge everyone to explore Riverbend Park and the Potomac as it flows by Great Falls.
For the past several years I have been photographing the landscapes, landmarks and wildlife of this place we call Great Falls. During this period I have been to Riverbend Park numerous times with my camera, but in May 2012 I noticed a sign near the boat rental area that listed the rates for each type of craft such as canoes, kayaks and aluminum flat-bottomed jon boats.
