Great Egret on display.
Bridal Feathers, Black And White
Plantation Garden
The plantation gardens that I walk through have small paths, almost hidden in places.
The gardeners know them all and take great care of all the various plants and trees within. For us it’s just a matter of wandering around until you find something like this.
As usual, no clue what it is.
Egret At Sun Down
One of those shots where the light on the swamp gives an unexpected color to the background.
Ever Present Butter Butt
Up north it was the House Sparrow everywhere. Down here it’s become the Yellow-rumped Warbler.
Always Interesting
One of those moments when you do a double take.
Not the first time seeing Alligator antics, so we just walk on.
Spoonbill
Just one came in close this morning, the others almost out of sight.
Anytime you can visit with one it’s a good day.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Found On A Walk
A walking trail above an old plantation retention ponds.
Middleton Plantation, Charleston, South Carolina.
Done Playing Nice, Snowy
These Snowy Egret were getting along with the small Herons just fine. However, they rarely can not argue or fight among themselves.
It begins with the ‘puffed up’ display and strut.
The marsh was very low here so there was plenty of fish and space to be apart. Most of the aggression was simple display.
True to form a little later a few couldn’t help but chase each other around. It’s a Snowy thing.
