Maybe this Snowy Egret doesn’t quite make the snow white grade, but between him and his branch buddies, I think the snow white term applies. The term birds of a feather doesn’t apply to this scene either since we have both Snowy Egrets and Little Blue Herons (juvenile) in the same group. There were about 10 different birds perched in the old branches and roots of this old tree that has washed out into the area between Horsepen Bayou and Armand Bayou.

Just want to give a shout-out to all my Flickr friends and hope that all is well with everyone. Had hoped to be back on for some limited comments, but there will most likely be away for a few more days. Everyone take care and stay warm if you are in the colder climates and will return as soon as possible. Will see how my time allotment works out over the next few days.

Just want to post this white Snowy Egret and let everyone know that I will be fairly scarce around Flickr for the next few days. They are cleaning up in the kitchen from the remodeling and our new cabinets are every bit as white as this bird. It’s now time to begin the cleanup in the house and to put everything back in its proper place if we can find it. Hope everyone has a great weekend and will return as time permits.

I’m so thankful that this Snowy Egret allowed me to violate his space and that he posed so beautifully for me while I took my photos. I prefer to leave them sitting if at all possible and just back off and let them be. This photo was taken in the second horseshoe bend on Horsepen Bayou in an area that was protected from the heavy winds that were blowing that day.
Want to thank everyone for all of their wonderful comments and also for you wonderful support and friendship. Hope everyone has a marvelous evening.
