Snowy Egret

The snowy egret is another favorite. So beautiful. I've done two prior posts, here and here. 

At Orlando Wetlands Park. I love their dark legs with yellow feet. 

At Merritt Island.

I viewed them at both Merritt Island and Orlando Wetlands Park. At the Haulover Canal on Merritt Island, between the Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River Lagoon, I saw a flock of them doing fly-overs. I got photos in varying levels of light which are kind of fun.

Here they are in full color. The distinctive trailing yellow and black legs give them away. 

A much darker version.

Something midway.

For such a beautiful bird, they tend to like metal culverts. They make the culverts much more attractive, but they are so much more beautiful in a natural setting. 

The beauty on a metal culvert.

Another metal culvert.

A nicer setting.
