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.
Some of the best and most unique Egret shots I've ever seen. Nicely done!

not that it matters, but, what camera + Lens did you use; where and when did you take these ?
Nikon D7500 with 300mm f4 VR PF
In the morning nearn where Grand Street (Alameda, CA) crosses a lagoon. One minute drive from my house.

Nice stuff. Seems you caught them at just about every dynamic angle. Thanks for posting.
