along the bank of an inland lake .. a snowy, magnificent waterbird strolls . . until . . he sees it . . in the lake, on the right . . a hunter . . not moving . . yet, eyes fixed . . the story continues . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=teRbS_0rZl8&feature=related SOOC -signed only © All rights reserved

- looking for a snack - eyes looking for movement - feet .. drag slowly through the water - something will show up - now - if 'she' would go away - check out the ducks for a while - maybe my luck would change - drat ... she is still there! - know what must be done - fly to the other side of this lake - she can't interfere with searching - and he did just that ! www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved

.. behavior .. changed by the Full moon? .. haven't seen Herons challenge each other .. for foraging areas before .. they just move on to another spot .. the Large White one didn't want anybody .. feeding in his ditch! .. sometimes they don't even get along .. as my friend, Winnie the Pooh would say ..

two Egrets lizard-hunting .. they were hilarious .. stumbling - feet going through the branches of the shrubs .. just to catch the elusive supper ! © All rights reserved #39 Project 52

perhaps some of my Friends can answer .. this Egret is different from the others posted .. his feathers don't seem as breeding plumage .. don't see the yellow stripe on his legs .. have looked in Google and Univ. of Florida sites trying to figure out why he looks like this .. the left side of his head almost looks caved in .. but, I don't know ... it may be something simple .. IF any of you have answers, please let me know.. he is just so sad looking ... will post other views of same Egret .. Thank you ! SOOC Explore 10 Sept. 2010 # 438 © All rights reserved
