Snowy Egret Crest Raised...

[Joseph Przybyla]

I was at the rookery in Gatorland last Thursday morning. This Snowy Egret landed on the boardwalk railing in front of me. I began capturing images when another landed close by and the two had a spat, breeding crest raised trying to intimidate each other. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Very nice! This close-up is all about the "do"- hairdo, that is.
Nice clean BG and the whites look good,
