This morning, I’m sharing three Snowy Egret photos, two because I like them, and the last one because it makes me laugh out loud.<\/p>\n

\"GracefulGraceful Snowy Egret in Utah<\/span><\/p>\n

I checked to see when I might spot my first Snowy Egret of the season here, and it looks like it won\u2019t be too long. Before the end of this month, I should start seeing them.<\/p>\n

I’ve always enjoyed photographing this egret species. They can be challenging due to their white plumage, but I like challenges.<\/p>\n

Snowy Egrets can look graceful.<\/p>\n

And they can also look a bit dramatic. Their plumes add flair, especially when they are excited\u2014that\u2019s for sure!<\/p>\n

This Snowy Egret was excited because another egret was trying to hunt for food in its territory. Watching their territorial behaviors can be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

\"SnowySnowy Egret pooping with a bill full of food<\/span><\/p>\n

I added this last photo because it makes me laugh each and every time I look at it. The egret\u2019s bill is full of food, and it\u2019s pooping at the same time.<\/p>\n

The gull? I think it just wanted to get the heck out of Dodge!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
