A Great Egret takes short repositioning flight over Raymond Pool at the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge outside of Smyrna, Delaware back on 7-18-2009. When they have too much competition for fish in one area they will often fly a hundred feet or so and start fishing again. When you get a couple hundred Egrets in the same water body, it often takes on the look of an strange ballet or sorts.
