Watched this #snowyegret searching for a meal along the rocks. Didn’t take him long to find a small snake or eel-and he quickly made his way to land to devour this tasty morsel! Love his yellow feet πŸ’›

I had never seen a #nightheron until I moved to the #easternshore. Probably because they are most active at twilight Interesting fact…..during breeding season, they develop long white head plumes and their legs turn pink.
