Egrets are so graceful in flight, but they can look awkward when they begin their ascent, just like lumbering passenger airplanes. I took the following photos of egrets taking off last week at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge near Philadelphia Airport.
Just across the interstate, airplanes were also taking off every few minutes.

Beautiful shots! I’ve seen them taking off, but not from water.

Thank you, Tiny! I usually go to the marshes for these photos, and have never seen them take off from land.
