Happy Egrets

I normally hesitate to assign human characteristics to animals, but I thought that both of these egrets from yesterday looked happy.

The one flying in seems to have a smiling look on it’s face as it enjoys a graceful glide. And I tend to assume any time fishing is successful that would make a bird happy as well…the fish?…not so much!
