Egret acrobats

These snowy egrets were feasting on a school of bait fish. Swooping down from midair to grab fish right at the surface, making tight turns, sometimes grabbing one little fish after another...or trying. I've been watching these egrets for years but this was the first time I observed this behavior.

Great series. The seventh one looks like he is walking on water. What a busy fisherman.

Nice work. As an observer, #5 looks like the avenging angel. I can only imagine the fish's perception.
