Terrific timing to catch this pose. It is my experience that the preening process can go on for an extended period of time.

What a splendid sighting. Certainly isn't disturbed by the paparazzi, great exposure and light.

looks like the appraisal stage of proceedings, and not too much seems out of place...certainly an unusual moment, and well captured..

When you look at it like that you can see what a huge area and number of feathers this egret has, and there's all snowy white. Your photo is an excellent perspective.
