The Great Fluff Up Continues!
The competition for fluffiest marsh bird continues on with yet another snowy egret putting on a fancy display.
The great blue heron from yesterday was a fierce competitor but little snowball is rapidly closing in on winning the title.
Too bad we didn’t have an alligator out there to judge the event, that would really raise the stakes!

That’s so amazing, Phil. I’ve never seen them do that here. 🙂

There were a few snowys in a group and all were acting a bit odd. Maybe those breeding season hormones have them a bit roused up. 🙂

Add in some wind gusts and it’s brutal on the hair.

That is the cool part of photography. You captured something that existed for an instant and preserved that moment. Great shot.

Cool shots of the action. Looks like your snowy is already getting mating colors with that almost pink beak.

Yes they are likely a ways behind your area birds coming into breeding colors. We are just starting to see some GBHs with blue lores and egrets with green.
