From the deck of our townhouse I saw a Great Egret flying; it then caught some thermals and eventually soared very high, heading northeast.  It was not an effortless soar, the bird had to flap one or two times per circuit.
The only other ardeid I have ever seen soaring was a Great Blue Heron, years ago.
