Snowy Egrets

I was at New Smyrna Beach, Florida a few days ago.  It was a very cool and windy day and the egrets were more subdued than usual.  The area on the south bank of the Halifax River near the breakwater always has a number of these birds along with a healthy population of ruddy turnstones.  Ospreys are very common as well and almost always are putting on a show of diving into the inlet for fish.
