Great Egret

On one of my many walks at a dike, I happened upon a Great Egret who was wading in the shallow water and stabbing the water for food.  I watched it for a long time, its neck elongating, it's hunger, its hunting prowess.

Great Egret

I will stab my prey
My white plumes will deceive you
Then I will swallow
