Christopher Columbus Lake in Tucson has provided many photo ops over the years, like this Great Egret that was willing to pose for me. In addition to the Egret, I have many fine photographs of Great Blue Herons, Black Crowned Night Herons, and Snowy Egrets from CC Lake. I can't remember ever going there and not coming home with a decent photo or two. It also has a year round population of ducks, geese, swans, and hybrids of them. Even got a nice photo of a regal horned lizard once. Many people come to the lake to fish or to picnic. In fact, they have a fishing tourney there sometimes. I suspect that since it is the only "watering hole" in the area and being along the San Juan River flyway, that these "larger" birds have grown accustomed to the people, which makes photographing them much easier.
