I shot some video of this beautiful snowy egret on Upham beach while it was stalking fish in the shallow water. Snowy egrets are such beautiful birds. Their bright yellow feet are striking in contrast to their jet black legs and snow-white body.
This bird suddenly interrupted its fishing expedition and took a very purposeful hike up onto dry sand. I thought it odd and wondered if it simply didn’t like my presence and was trying to get away from me. But no, it had a definite bird purpose in mind and I had nothing to do with it. I guess birds want to keep their water clean.

Even birds know you don’t poop on the dinner table.
