Active Day for Snowball

Yesterday afternoon I was watching this snowy egret bouncing around the salt marsh among the oyster beds at low tide.

He flew out across the reeds then landed nearby me where he proceeded to feed and I saw the fast little guy scoop up several tiny fish and shrimp.

For all the energy these active birds put out, they need to refuel often.

Thea thinks the second photo makes him look like a flying marlin! Love the lacy plumage in the last two!

  They are pretty birds, especially when they get a bit fluffy!

Lucky you to be able to enjoy their company. Spiffing stuff, Phil. I forgot what lens you are shooting with 200-400 or 100-400?
