Today’s #birdoftheday is #paddling
This #greatwhiteegret is happily paddling through the water with a fine snack in his mouth.

Hello! I’m not too late for #birdoftheday, it’s 10:16 PST 🤣 I think the theme was #poised.
It’s exhilarating, looking through your photos finding a theme everyday. I enjoy just sitting for 45 minutes or more and watching birds. ☮️🫶, better than the news.Thank you for doing this friends 🙏

Happy weekend ya’ll! It’s the trifecta; a great white egret, snowy egret and blue heron captured all at once…at the Sacramento national wildlife refuge.
