Snowy Egret

These pictures were taken on March 23rd, 2008 at the High Island Rookery, High Island, Texas. These little guys can really put on a show during mating season. They are very territorial and when I was there, two pair were trying to nest in the same area. It just lead to one chase after another and of course showing off all their fluffy, pretty feathers, which they only have during mating season.
