The little egret is known as the Snowy Egret. I had to travel by flatboat to the middle of a lake where there are floating islands to reach the rookery where these little egrets are nesting along with blue herons, tri-color herons and little blue herons.

Ahh, I remember when I was a lad and I would meet a lady who would make my hair stand on end. What a great capture Colleen. It almost has the look of Groucho Marx when he had that sly look and would make an aside. Great post.

Stunning! Love the pose and sublime details. Excellent composition. Especially enjoy the diagonal of vegetation and sky topped off with nice light. I was sure I commented on this one earlier. Saved.
