Great Egret in Yellow

While walking down the riverside trail at the Morton Arboretum I spotted a Great Egret on the far side of the river.  I have lots of Great Egret pictures (over a hundred) so now I look for ways to make pictures of common birds more interesting – to me and others.  As I walked along the trail the bank nearest me was covered with yellow wildflowers so I decided to find a little window through the plants to get a shot.  Even though the sunlight was coming from the wrong direction and some of the plants obscured parts of the bird, I think I came up with an interesting shot.  It’s all part of seeing more than the bird – be it in the background or the foreground.
