Shake It Off

On a recent afternoon I was interested in watching this egret’s drying off technique. He seemed compelled to get himself all in a twist to make sure every last drop of water went flying off.

Looked to me like it worked fine but what do I know? 🙂

  So glad you liked these Deb!
  I wanted to pick him up and smooth all his feathers back down like you would pet a fluffed up cat. 🙂

Amazing how they can go from this to being stunningly elegant, isn’t it!?! And they look even skinnier when their feathers are all in disarray.

  It is funny when they get themselves into odd positions and ruffle up all the feathers. 🙂
