“Where Did It Go?!?”

This snowy egret appears completely flustered after losing sight of a fish in the salt marsh! I saw the fish too, and it quickly swam straight out and away from where the egret is standing, you can even see the trail the fish left in the water. Unfortunately for snowball however…he’s still looking down directly in front of him which is where the fish was…but not anymore!

Stunningly beautiful. The light and backlight, the riplets of water, the clarity and detail. Just beautiful.

  Smart fish indeed Sylvia, and lucky too! Plus I bet he was quickly telling all his fishy friends about how clever he was. Well… until the blue heron spots him. 😯 😀
