Snow White Stealth on the Weeki Wachee
Description:
You'd think this big, bright white stalker wouldn't stand a chance, but it moves so quietly and deliberately though the shadows, that when it does strike, it gets a morsel every time. Slipping through the shadows along the shallow bank, this Great Egret didn't pay any attention to us drifting alongside. It moved like the wind, without stirring the bottom, until it launched, and then more often it was game over for the intended snack.Great EgretWeeki Wachee RiverHernando County FloridaOlympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IIM.14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
