The Best Show in Nature, a few weeks ago I was spending quite a few days down by the river, the water is really low, but that makes for great fishing for the Egrets. This has been such a thrill for me, I have never seen this many Egrets on the Mississippi River during all the years that I have lived here.

You really do have to be at the right place at the right time. They are passing through as they migrate south for the winter.

The water is low and the reflections are grand. As they catch fish to gain energy for their long trek south.

The birds may all look similar dressed in their finest white feathers, but everyday there is a new show from watching them stand as still as a statue.

To the elegance of landing with their long legs outstretched and every feather working as designed to guide the bird to its perch.

To the acrobatic flying in unison across the face of the water. I can’t even count how many hours I have been down at the river watching these birds dance and soar on mighty wings. They even have their toes pointed and wing tips up like professional dancers of the sky’s.
