Reflecting Lift Off

It was a perfect day at Las Gallinas Valley birding loop. Fortunately, we started off in the magical “Golden Hour” which is the photographer’s best friend. This egret was just taking off when we held down the shutter button, locked on, and snapped away as he took off. On average Snowy Egrets live to be about 15 years old. The oldest Snowy Egret on record lived to be 17 years, 7 months old.
