Since I retired in 2011, I have some nice shots of Great Egrets in breeding plumage ......but the Snowys in great plumage have always eluded me on the very few opportunities I have had over the years !

This from yesterday with the Sony A9 and Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600mm f8 from monopod and heavy crop in cloudy/open shade ....

Very well done, Larry. You did really well with the white plumage! I struggle with that! The cloudy, open shade helps with that!
