Where to photograph big birds in North Carolina

Standing up on a rock along the shore, I heard a loud croaking noise to my left.
Swinging my lens around, I turned towards the sound and there was this Great Egret gliding over the water.
What a sight!
I gotta say, if your searching for big birds to photograph, Jordan Lake in Apex N.C. is the place to go!
