Much too early for this

Southeast Louisiana

This Great White Egret already has its breeding feathers on and the white crinum bulbs are already sprouting. We are expecting freezing temperatures this week.

Our weather and temps have been like a yo-yo.
Snow wintry conditions and then turns to spring-like conditions...
Nice image of the Egret...

Nice shot Coleen. Stay warm, our temperatures are going down to -20 F this week and highs around -4 F. Brrrr.

Maybe they know something we don't. Beautiful light on this lovely egret.

Mother Nature works differently every year, hope they both make it OK! Nice capture Coleen!
