Snowy egret (high breeding plumage)

Egretta thula

UT Southwestern Medical Center Rookery.

 

You might be tempted to think he was standing still, but the raised foot offers a clue. In reality, his raised feathers are constantly going up and down and up again, and he is pivoting all over the place, and the sun was going in and out of the clouds which is changing the exposure (I shoot all my shots with manual exposure, never auto exposure).
