Of all the egret family, the snowy is my favorite.
Why?
Cause they have attitude!
A small bird seen mostly in the marshes and dancing on bright yellow feet. Most of the time they have their comb (on top of their heads) pulled in tight. But during the mating season or when they are angry/surprised they put it up much like a cardinal.
This one was taken in Edisto Beach, SC late in the day and had been making trips back and forth to a nest in the palm trees. I slowed the shutter way down for a couple of shots and got a sorta artsy image as he was taking off.
Have sold the image well, as it is different than most wildlife photos seen at shows, and the picture has been very good to me.
