A Snowbird in Paradise

There he is, "MY" Egret. My first photos here in 2003 were of this bird or another like him. As I understand it, they have a long life span, now that they are protected and not being killed for their mating plumage. This COULD be the same fellow. He certainly knows we keep cans of sardines in the house. We were sitting on the bench at the breakwall when he came up from below, fishing for minnows, and headed straight for the screen house. Mind you, that was between us and the house. He waited until I had snapped all the pictures I wanted and just KNEW I would go in and treat him to some sardines.
