[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I capture this little snowy egret trying to ambush any little pray that could be swimming under that deck. I liked that position, with the neck hiden close to the body and wings. It seems that the egret just shrank! Maybe it was because of the windy and cool day, or just to be hiden to any distracted fish...

Something about it:
The Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) is a small white heron.Adults are typically 61 cm long and weigh 375 g. They have a slim black bill and long black legs with yellow feet. Their breeding habitat is large inland and coastal wetlands from the lower Great Lakes and southwestern United States to South America. The birds eat fish, crustaceans, and insects. They stalk prey in shallow water, often running or shuffling their feet, flushing prey into view, as well "dip-fishing" by flying with their feet just over the water.

Well done on the exposure on the bright white plumage. TFS.

Oi Fabiano!
Bonito o bicho, que parece estar no trapiche do Iate, certo? Interessante a postura dele, com a cabeça abaixada, meio desconfiado..
Luz ótima e nitidez magnífica! Mas este povo só comenta em retribuição ou se você conseguir flagrar um bicho desses fumando um charuto..falando ao telefone..
abraço,
Zeca
