From the folks at “You don’t see that every day!”

I was waiting for Jared’s friend to come play when I noticed a very large bird perched on the neighbor’s roof. I wasn’t sure if it was an egret or a heron. Now I know that it is both. An egret is a type of heron. We frequently see egrets near the beach or in rivers. What a fun treat to see one here at the neighbor’s house. I don't know if you can see in the pictures, but this is a BIG bird (at least 3 feet tall)!
