Snowy Egrets are entertaining to watch as they dart about, working to stir up small fish in the water. This one separated himself from the flock of nearby Roseate Spoonbills and Wood Storks and took a short break. We are used to seeing Great Egrets waiting this way, but generally the Snowy Egrets don’t have the same perseverance.
A quick turn and a pounce into the water yielded nothing, this time.

That’s a beauty Ellen. We’ve been seeing spoonbills here on Kiawah, I suppose another sign of global warming. But the egrets are still my favorites
Thank you, Tina. Can’t go wrong with an egret! That’s amazing that you are seeing spoonbills around–it certainly does seem to be change as talk with folks who have been here for decades.
Outstandingly beautiful captures!
Thank you, Dina. Glad that you enjoyed them.
Lovely photos Ellen. The egret (not just the viewer) should have been rewarded for its poise and persistence!
