All Fluffed Up

A snowy egret in the salt marsh this afternoon seemed aggravated over the heat wave we’re currently experiencing here in the south. Right now, nobody at the marsh is in a particularly good mood.

I didn’t see any alligators out. Probably a good thing…

He does look a little peeved about something. Great captures. (I’ve missed visiting here the past months, Phil…)

  Snowys are almost always disgruntled about something. Or nothing. 🙂

Goodness! He does not look happy. I wouldn’t be either if it’s hot! Cooled way down out here on our coast. Back to thickest hoodie weather.

  99F in Myrtle Beach again today. The wildlife did not seem particularly thrilled about that. We are fine though, the AC is cranking at home and the beach has been great!

I get grumpy too when we have stinking hot weather, so glad we’re in our winter at the moment.

  37-38C here again today so the birds are getting a bit edgy. We spent the day at the beach so all is fine! 🙂

So beautiful but so hacked off! Our summer finally seems to have begun, while for you it is too much at times. Funny old world ……..!

  I also look similar when I emerge from the salt water after playing at the beach. At least the AC is humming along nicely here. Inside now with snacks and TV.

  Well the thing about snowys is that they are almost perpetually annoyed about something. One can fish by himself Ok enough but get a crowd and there will be issues.
