| We also ran into a bullfrog big enough to choke an egret, as you can tell from its photo. |
| Out there, among the cypress and the palm, where the alligator solitarily glides and the egret sails in chevron, sanctuary beckoned. |
| I noticed a snow-white bird in the distance and thought it was a cattle egret at first. |
| My visit to the Laundry pond yielded only a few birds, a single little egret, a coot, a pair of little grebes, several ferruginous ducks and a small flock of mallards. |
| Other wintering species include little egret, spoonbill, hen harrier, merlin, peregrine, green sandpiper and common sandpiper. |
| The previous day, we'd seen a white-tailed eagle, little gulls, three smew and, most remarkable of all, a great white egret. |
