Snowy Egret
Canon 20D, Canon 100-400L IS @275 mm f/8 1/400
While in Sarasota, I visited Pelican Man's Bird Sanctuary, a
facility where injured birds are cared for, and either released
after being healed, or maintained for life if their injuries
preclude a return to life in the wild. The injured birds were in
enclosures that didn't make for good photography, but an amazing
number and variety of non-captive birds were in the vicinity,
feeding, nesting, and generally carrying on. This male snowy
egret was protecting his nest and mate from other males.
