The Snowy Egret is one of the most beautiful birds to watch, even when it is trying to catch a fish, as shown in the following photos taken yesterday at the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge.

Snowy Egret: Sigh, that one got away… I have to do better than that.
Two minutes later: Caught one!
Fish, you are not getting away, no way!
Ah, that tastes so good!

Really great series!! I love snowy egrets!! In Audubon’s day they were called Snowy Herons (egrets are herons but with aigrettes) and they were considered a delicacy in some circles. Hard to conceive of a snowy as a food bird..ever!! Different times.
