Snowy Egrets are staging in growing numbers along with Great Egrets in many salt marsh locations on the Cape. With the nesting season over, they are preparing for migration to Central and South America. The beautiful snow white plumage provides a striking contrast from the marsh grass in the early morning light at Great Sippewissett Marsh.
The first two images shows the Snowy Egret extending its wings and droping down its black legs with yellow feet for a soft landing. The other two images show their graceful flight motions. Click here for more recent images of Snowy and Great Egrets.
Enjoy!
