Snowy Egret Lands To Fish

 

I still remember the wonderful experience with this Snowy Egret in breeding plumage that I photographed this past May back home in Maryland.

Hanging at the boardwalk, waiting and hoping for any bird to arrive……became well worth the wait for this beautiful Snowy Egret photo session.   😊
