This Snowy Egret’s pose really showed off his beautiful feet. That yellow gets a little brighter during breeding season, and is now starting to fade a bit.

There were dozens of nests with chicks in the island behind me and this fellow was taking a break from the din.

He repeated this water tossing behavior a couple of times…

…it seemed more about the fun that feeding or even getting a drink.
