This snowy egret was fishing for his supper late on last Wednesday evening. The sun was giving off its golden glow and a soft breeze cooled off the hot air. The egret was oblivious to the couple dozen people walking the beach or sunning themselves. He would walk along with his head turned sideways and eye parallel to the water and then freeze on occasion. He was very methodical in his technique and every time he jabbed the water he came up with a little fish. Good thing we don't have to eat like that. This was taken off South Daytona Beach near the Boardwalk.
