Great Egret – Preening

Great Egret – Preening



Just a simple Great Egret (Ardea alba) image that always seems to tickle my funny bone when I view it because of the pose.

I was wandering through a Florida Spartina marsh when I came across this egret preening and watched as it seemed to turn itself into a pretzel!
