Nicely caught, by both you and the Egret.
Judging by that unmistakable kink in the neck and the yellow bill, I think what you have there is a Great Egret rather than a Snowy which is much smaller and has a black bill. Mike |

Not being a “birder” I appreciate the correction. Have seen many of these in Florida-not quite sure how it ended up in Arizona. In Florida they dine on fish-that’s why I was surprised to see the lizard

They migrate through my area and will occasionally stop briefly. I’ve seen one catching lizards on a mountainside once, thought it looked very odd since there weren’t any ponds or streams anywhere around.
