In my opinion, male Oriental pied-hornbills have the most beautiful eyelashes among birds. These tiny feather-like structures are not simple hairs, but intricately shaped like snowflakes.

They do have beautiful eyelashes. Nice shots!

A snowy egret going after an itch instead of a fish on North Beach @ Ft De Soto. I think it was 2006 this beach was named best beach in the US.

Great captures!

I did see some snowys but they weren't Reddish- I took some photos of them definitely snowys. I was with a couple of other photographers much of the time that know that white morph so I'm pretty sure I didn't see it. We did see a large mixed group our last morning but none of us saw the white morph. We all looked pretty closely.

Glad you got to see him, maybe I'll find him next time!!

Nope, don't see a white morph in there, bummer! Hopefully next time. Did you go to the area they call "hidden lagoon?"

Sharp and nicely exposed ~~

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I think we did, I heard people talking about it but not sure that is where we went.

Yellow Warblers are everywhere here, and I couldn't be happier about it. They'll spend the summer here, so will have ample opportunities to photograph over the next few months.

I hate when that happens! LOL
