Displaying the frillies!

Got this snowy egret today. Hadn't really noticed the frillies (not sure what else to call it), but looked like it was sporting an evening gown.

Is this what they call breeding plumage - at least I've seen others use that term here. That's one gorgeous shot of the snowy egret.

Yes I love those long flowing feathers especially when they are caught in the wind. Such elegant birds

Wow Rick, I'm surprised this isn't on the Popular Page. It's so beautiful and I like the way the feathers are showing around the edge. Fav!

Beautiful capture! Certainly does look like a frilly gown it's wearing.
