Snowy egret

A snowy egret was very cooperative the other day at Donnelly Wildlife Management Area. He's sitting on a trunk that controls the water into what used to be rice fields and are now water fowl havens. The trunk opens or closes to let water in or out with the tide and can be controlled by the managers to the optimum depth for the birds and the plants that they feed on at various seasons.





Don't forget the Great Backyard Bird Count this coming weekend!
