A Snowy #Egret at the St Augustine Alligator Farm and #Zoological #Park; a busy place for nesting #waterfowl like the #SnowyEgret since the many alligators in the waters below keep the #tree-top nests of the #birds safe from other predators.
This egret is in its high breeding #plumage and seems to be trying to attract a mate.

At the St Augustine Alligator Farm and #Zoological #Park is host to many #waterfowl species during nesting season, because the #birds are attracted to the protection against predators created by the alligators.
The alligators rarely bother the birds, either, as this Snowy #Egret in the same water as the gators, demonstrates the point.

An example of the power of perspective. These pictures are taken from the same location, The high-key (very white) picture is taken standing, the one with the green background was taken with the camera a few inches above the ground.

I'm not all that tall, and these birds were rather far away (800mm focal length).

Anyway, snowy egrets (Egretta thula) in the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
