This guy just keeps dropping by unannounced

He comes to the front door and it sets Max and Sadie off on a CODE RED ALERT Bark-a-thon!! Today he came walking up the front walk and up towards the front door. They went crazy barking at the front window and then came to warn and protect me and they chased him off.

They were very concerned and wanted outside where they quickly ran to the side yard and alerted our two neighbors who were standing there talking BARK BARK BARK BARK which roughly translates to BEWARE OF THE INTRUDER. I assured the neighbors they weren't the source of the barking, I told them they were oblivious to the danger they faced and Sadie and Max were simply trying to warn them.

I decided that something had to be done about this intruder so I went to the front door armed with my weapon of choice, my camera, and collected the evidence that he had been there, in fact, he was STILL THERE!!!





He is a Great Egret and my neighbor has named him Fred!

  4. aww... he's sweet.

    The wonderful seabirds are one of the things I miss most about living on the Florida Gulf Coast.

    That and those gorgeous white sand beaches... the cool breeze just before the afternoon thunderstorms brought in on the seabreeze, and those beautiful clear blue waters...
