Snowy Egret

Egretta thula

Notes:

Strange behavior, I see American White Ibis in the water searching for food but with each Ibis is a Snowy Egret following it around, must have been 6 or 7 pairings. Anyone else heard of this behavior?

New one for me, perhaps the Ibis stirs up the water and fish and the Egret takes advantage. A little Blue used to always meet us with the paddleboat because we stirred up the fish when we came into shore.
