Snowy Egret at Florida

Florida's low-lying peninsula, with its intricate mosaic of freshwater marshes & cypress stands, provides an ideal setting for photographing the Snowy Egret against a backdrop bordered by both the Atlantic Ocean & the Gulf of Mexico. Those joining the Florida Ospreys holiday in April will find these elegant, white-plumed birds a rewarding subject amid the wetland scenery. The soft early spring light & open marsh habitat make for excellent opportunities to capture the egret's fine plumes & graceful hunting stance. Patience around the marsh edges should reward photographers with frame-filling views of this striking species.
