Very impressive shot πππ
Thank you, Ted!
Nice! Quite a diverse group together! Love the reflections also.
Thank you, Reed! A cormorant flew in and landed on that strip in front of the egrets just after this shot and messed up everyone’s pose. Whew! π
Oh Donna! That is absolutely breathtaking! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you, Susan! One of those RPRT moments for sure! π
Awesome photo! ππ
Thank you, Mike!
Just looking at the photo again (still awesome) and it looks like the Snowy Egret is sulking. Maybe he’s been sent to stand in the corner by the ‘teacher’ (Brown Pelican), who’s checking he’s still there. I wonder what he/she did? π
π π I was thinking maybe too Mr Pelican was there first and now his island was getting overtaken by those egrets, ugh! Or his size overbeared on the little snowy… π
Absolutely charming! Incredible photography Donna
Thank you, Eddie!!

Wow! This is terrific, Donna. π
Thank you, Belinda! π
Such stillness, like a mirror, not a ripple in sight. This lot knows how to hold a pose!
Thank you, Eliza! Right after this shot, a cormorant flew in and landed, messing up everyone’s pose and the water rippled. Whew, I was so lucky with this shot! π
Lovely photo! Perfect timing for a mirror angle. π
I guess they couldn’t afford a bigger island! π
Thank you, HJ! I just mentioned in previous comment that a cormorant landed right after this shot and messed up everyone’s poses and the water rippled. Whew, RPRT for sure!
Islands are at a premium price! π

Great shot! How did you get them to pose for you? The reflections, everything!
Thank you, Jane! One of those RPRT moments!! After this shot, a cormorant flew in and landed with them and messed up the poses and rippled the water. Whew, I really felt lucky with this one!
The Pelican does not look at all pleased with the Snowy! π
The pelican was probably there first, and his island was getting overtaken! hee hee
