We often say a picture is worth a 1000 words----well, I'm updating the saying to a Photo is Worth 586 miles.

On Thursday I drove to norther Florida for a 2 day photo shoot. On Thursday evening while roaming the swamp I came across the Male Snowy Egret in his breeding plumage all dressed up for his night on the town looking for a lady. The last light of the day filtered through the trees and presented me this opportunity. I think this shot alone was worth the trip.

BTW--the bird ordered a set of 24 wallets sized prints to give to the ladies and a 4x6 print on metal print to hang in his tree.

Please enjoy the download!

Larry, If I was him it would have been an 8x10 . Excellent photo and Florida is a great place for birding.

He's a beauty alright! I'm waiting a few more weeks, maybe 3 or so.......then heading to the rookery at the Alligator Farm. I like when the eggs are hatching. We are blessed here in Florida with natural beauty in every direction.


Thanks for looking. I hear the Farm has spoonbill chicks right now and lots of great white chicks as well.
