Quick Exit

A snowy egret jets across the salt marsh in a huge hurry. Snowys are high strung little birds that do almost everything in a hurry.

Great description! I was just out this evening at dusk, watching several Snowies flitting about in the pond, jumping up every few moments, chasing after every slight movement in the water.

  Thanks much! If you get a minute, check out my post from a few days back of the avocets and the ‘snowy’ and let me know what you think.
  At least I’m 70/30 it’s a snowy. I’m also thinking it *could* be an immature LBH. Tough to tell sometimes.

    I would definitely say that was a Snowy Egret! And I love those pics of the elegant Avocets-

Such beautiful little birds – they always remind me of a ballerina from Swan Lake. Yet again you shoot it against the great backdrop, Phil, that shows up every detail perfectly!

What a beautiful shot, and against such a great background. Really shows him off.

  Thanks so much I was happy he flew against that green, which makes the white birds look good.
