Watch For Flying Feet!
A snowy egret was minding his own business in the salt marsh yesterday when an intruder appeared out of nowhere shocking poor snowball.
An aggravated snowy (well in truth snowys are almost always aggravated about something) will not hesitate to use any and all weapons at their disposal including a pair sharp clawed feet.
The identity of the attacker will remain a mystery as he kept his face out of security camera coverage. The only clues we are left with are those rather lethal looking snowy toes. 🙂

I’d be squawking too if those feet tried to land on me!
I know, me too! Nasty looking feetsies. 🙂
I think those nails need clipping!
I thought the same thing. Plus I expect those little claws are kinda sharp and would cause considerable discomfort if they dug in on you.
WOW! dear Phil, they are so beautiful and extraordinary! magnific… Loved so much. Thank you, have a nice weekend, love, nia
Thanks Nia, I’m glad you liked seeing our active snowys!
Those talons look lethal, no wonder the other egret was worried.
He did seem worried, and with good reason.
Poor snowy!
These guys have been really going at it the past few days. Must be breeding season. 🙂
