Snowy Egret
Why do mummies make excellent spies?
They’re good at keeping things under wraps.
Interesting Fact: Male Snowy Egrets fight for breeding territories, choose nest sites, and perform noisy courtship displays to attract mates. A ring of other egrets often gathers around a displaying male as he pumps his body up and down, points his bill skyward, and calls. He also performs aerial displays, including one that ends with him dropping toward the ground while tumbling around and around. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Snowy_Egret/lifehistory )
What a great action image. The egret himself is splendid, and his shadow on the beach sand is other-worldly IMO. I bet he looked very formidable during this display.
Thank you very much, he definitely was and it was quite a display he put on. Stay Safe and Happy Blogging! 🙂
