Snowy Egrets are very active hunters, often dragging their toes across the water as they go.

A beautiful image, Cindy; great action captured, plus excellent lighting, and the water droplets from the bill, add a very nice extra element
to your photo, as well.

Brilliant image Cindy.  Superb details in the whites.  The best bit being the way it's gliding on the very brink of the water surface.
Make your life spectacular!

Quite a unique capture of this behaviour, Cindy!  Great shot!  Sweet detail in the whites and trailing water droplets.

Cool moment and behavior captured, Cindy! I particularly like that we can see the feet dragging.

Great behavioral image. Love the action, composition and exposure against that dark background.

Wonderful pose and action- love how the feet are dragging and roiling up the water. Quite unique!
