No Fish Today

I watched this Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) for about a half hour. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful at catching anything for breakfast. I mentioned that to a fisherman who was tucked into some shrubbery at the shoreline. He said he also caught no fish and said "the only breakfast being eaten was me...I'm being eaten alive by bugs". I didn't see any mosquitoes, but I moved away from the shoreline after taking this picture hahaha.

 

(The white stuff in the water is fluff and seeds from aspen trees.)

 

Seen at Prospect Lake, Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
