Standing above one of the ponds at the Middleton Plantation I noticed a small Snowy Egret working the water.

Some Snowy’s will fly along the waters surface, drag their feet, and flush out fish to catch. This one was serious about the routine and kept at it for a while.

At first I just watched, I was shooting monochrome with a short lens. After a bit I couldn’t stand it any more and shot to catch the action…long distance.
