Bath Time for Snowy

I don’t normally see wading birds like this snowy egret splashing around bathing the way you would a backyard type bird in a bird bath.

So it was entertaining and amusing to see the snowy drenching itself in the shallow water of the marsh pond.

Great shot! I wonder if they look for cleaner water than they normally wade around in to bathe?

  Glad you liked that photo! I don’t normally even see small waders like the snowys bathe but I suspect they must have a way to decide which water to use. 🙂 But who knows?

    Aye. Who knows. It’s always intriguing watching birds to their things. They always manage to surprise in one way or another. 😀
