Stalking with Elegance
.
When it’s low tide at the Everglades NP Gulf Coast location, a small beach exposes at the far end of the bulkhead.
While I was sitting on the bulkhead by that beach a mid-afternoon, a Snowy Egret came around the bend and towards me along the beach, stalking for fish in the small incoming waves.
Sitting very still, I waited; and not for long. The Snowy Egret was on the move and was quickly right in front of me.

I know the egret had to see me, but it didn’t give any indication acknowledging my presence. It just continued it’s stalking.

“Ready to Strike”

“Super Quick Strike”

“Tiny Tasty Snack”

Not missing a beat, the Snowy Egret continued on past me, searching for more.

I think this is when I started breathing again. 😉
