Egret in the Shallows

I captured this image of a snowy egret (Egretta thula) one morning in Gulfport, Mississippi. The egret was hunting in a shallow tidal pool near the surf.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Some more photos I took from around Harmon Reservoir and Stillwater NWR. I'm trying to get better about capturing little birds and birds in flight.

Shoreline Illusion

During one of my forays to the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi, I captured this interesting image of a ring‑billed gull (Larus delawarensis) and a snowy egret (Egretta thula). The scale in the photo feels a bit deceptive. The egret, which is actually the closer and much larger of the two birds, appears almost the same size as the gull. Maybe it’s just me, but the perspective plays a clever little trick on the eye.
