Egret looking for food at theWilliams House

The town has been experiencing a visitor recently in the form of a large white Egret.  Normally located near marshes and streams, I’m guessing he is about town searching for the secluded but reachable Koi and fish ponds.  As a later picture shows he visited the woman who lives next door to check out her fairly large Koi pond. He came so often she has now decided feeding Egret’s is not one of her hobbies and has given away the Koi and closed the pond. We have a smaller Koi pond at the Williams House, but apparently he hasn’t found it yet, or the fish hide effectively near the bottom.  I noticed our resident attack cat Cinnamon was no where to be found when a worthwhile  adversary showed up.  When you operate a bed & breakfast you’re never really sure when your next visitor will be arriving!
