Success!
In my previous post, a snowy egret had struck at a tiny fish as it flew by the water’s surface hoping for a fly-by catch. It was indeed successful and after gulping this tiny minnow down it continued its search for more.
On this particular morning, the tide was coming in and there was a feeding frenzy like I had not witnessed before. Literally a hundred or more birds were feeding in the shallow water feasting on the bounty of small fish. There were snowy egrets, great egrets, reddish egrets, great blue herons and white ibis to name a few. There was also a pod of baby tarpon feeding nearby, although they definitely didn’t fit the bill of “small fish!”
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!
