He has a long s-shaped neck, but is scrunching it up due to the wind. He first landed on the balcony, then moved to the chair to get more comfortable. A bird visiting this high up is very unusual and I'm glad that he was willing to pose for a few pictures.
Did you know that the Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society? Our new friend, Eddie stayed at least an hour soaking up the view. I don't blame him a bit - it's gorgeous!

How utterly thrilling to have an egret visit on your balconey! Who says you have to leave home to go birdwatching? Yes, I did know that the egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society. Did you know that I have a photo of an egret on my bedroom wall? I'm sure you didn't but that reveals that I am a big fan of egrets and that is why your story caught my eye. Loved your sharing! Thanks.

I know! He seemed perfectly happy to spend some time with us, although his mother must have been frantic. Glad you like the post, Eddie!
I just love birdwatching when I go to Florida. There are several "regular" egrets and Blue Herons that visit my parent's backyard. I always get excited when I see them and the other birds in and around the canal.
Condos with a view like this was something lovely. You can rest fast while you are seeing in front of your windows. What a peaceful mind you've got in here.
