Snowy Egret Egretta thula

This was taken at Estero Lagoon in Florida last April. This guy was so very tame and came so close. I just love how sharp his eye is. And how the lores are in breeding colors.

This one just makes me smile.

Any comments appreciated! Thanks for looking. :)

Sheri, This is my favorite post of yours so far. I too love the breeding plumage. The BG is a beautiful color. With the BG color and all that white, the face just pops. Great timing too.

Sheri, this is very unique! I love the expression but what I can't get over is how sharp that bill looks! Not a bird I would want to mess with. ;) Very nice!

THIS I LIKE!!! (As if anybody cares :? ). Tasteful and artful. Excellent image that's a step above just a documentary style image.

I guess this one isn't up to all the the rules about composition. But never mind, it works very well and that's what counts in the end!
