Snowy Egret
by Ian Plant
Snowy egrets come to the Chesapeake Bay every summer. After diving into a tidal pool, this egret shook itself dry and looked right at me. Click. Richardson Marsh, Maryland.

Very interesting eyes on this bird. I love the grass and the just-shaken feathers. They reminded me of the ladies at the hair salon after their shampoo

Wonderful backlit shot and a pleasing Bokeh. The simple complimentary color scheme also helps to highlight the white bird. Great shot and a humorous one.
Kathrine, New year’s greetings to you too.
