Sunday ride with a Great Egret

Back to Marsh Creek State Park for a ride on the sw trails.  I was late getting started and didn't want to get caught in the rain so kept riding time down this week to just over an hour.  These trails are relatively straight-forward with nothing steep for long, few rocks and tree roots that are manageable.  Nevertheless, my stamina appears to be returning slowly. 

This Great Egret was standing by the lakeside close to the dam not doing much in particular.  They eat small fish and amphibians so maybe he'd just had a meal and was digesting.  Ho looks kinda pissed off mind you so maybe he's lost and hungry.

Despite the overcast sky and low light in the wood, the green color is quite spectacular as the under-storey continues to emerge
