I think of all the resident birds we have in Fl. cattle egrets display about the most dramatic transformation when in breeding plumage. Considering removing the intersecting stick but haven't gotten around to it since I created the image this evening.
Edit: My apologies to Mike Godwin for not initially stating this was taken at Gatorland. For all he does to make this a photography friendly place that's the least I can do.
