Egretta thula

Snowy Egret at Lovers Key State Park at Big Carlos Pass
Fort Myers Beach, Florida USA

While I make an effort to get as close to birds as possible with a concern not to disturb them,
I got extremely lucky with this Snowy Egret as it flew to me landing within ten feet. I recall a stiff breeze on this day
which allowed for an interesting effect on the bird's feathers. This shot was taken with the use of a tripod.
