SNOWY EGRET ADMIRING HIMSELF (Worth enlarging...)
It appears that this Snowy Egret is admiring his reflection in a pool of water at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah.
During the breeding season, adult Snowy Egrets develop long, wispy feathers on their backs, necks, and heads. In 1886 these plumes were valued at $32 per ounce, which was twice the price of gold at the time.(CornellLab)
