I was watching this Egret at lunch in the park today. I couldn't figure out for a little bit what he was doing then I saw the dragonflies flying around & realized he was eating them.

Great set. I shoot Egrets fishing at the beach
quite often. They have some real skills.
The ones here have yellow feet. Do yours?

I have noticed the pelicans here look much
different than in other parts of the country.

I'm just learning about birds.
Thanks for sharing these.

Thank you..lucky you to live near the ocean & be able to shoot the birds there....I have a variety of birds here & really like photographing them.
The Egrets in this area have black feet.
I am told we have some white Pelicans in our area but I haven't seen those yet.
