Outdoor Photo Essay

My husband and I saw four large birds fly across our yard this morning, so I grabbed the camera to try to photograph them if I could find them again.

They perched very far away on a roof top, so I did the best I could. I believe they are egrets.

The clouds were so pretty again today, so I caught a few shots of them also.

I am almost certain that the birds are White Egrets.
These are great shots. Thanks

Nice photos again, katie..... Our sky looks like that now, only add some dark color to the clouds...and I think the same birds are sitting on My fence today!!!

It's amazing. Today, our clouds are darker as whatever you had yesterday is moving up to us today. You can feel in the air that there's rain coming, and I guess the birds went to your place because they're no where in sight here today.
