...Like We Did Last Summer

The same Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) I followed in the two "Angel" posts.
He chased the school of minnows along the shallows making several strikes and got some, missed others.
Then the school reversed and shoot around and between his legs back the other way.
He had just missed a strike and is twisting so fast water drops are still coming off his beak.
In less than a second between one step and the next he was reversed and chasing the minnows but they turned and went into deeper water at which point the egret turned the pursuit run into a take off run and circled the pond again looking for more.
They often "herd" minnows using their feet. I have seen them fly low trailing their feet in the water to startle minnows into jumping so they can snatch them out of the air.

Good capture


"Doing the Twist?" No. Hokie-Pokie? I don't think so. IMHO, this is a great shot of an Egret "Twerking". Fantastic capture of a "dirty bird."
