Morning catch
I spend a lot of mornings with a snowy egret along the American River. This bird hunts for fish and crawdads near the shore and is always active and entertaining to watch. Most of the time, it uses its long legs to stir up prey in the shallows. But when something catches its eye, it’ll suddenly dart forward—and it usually catches what it’s after. I’ve seen this particular egret succeed at least 90% of the time. The quick movements and poses it strikes during the chase always make for interesting photos and I can't think of a better way to start the day!
