Wild Bird Wednesday


The truth about the "Big Fish that Got Away" ...

The Snowy Egret is a fisherman(or woman)


Fast and Furious, he grabs for the fish ...

Curse words echoed through the wetlands ...


He must regain his composure ...
The truth is ... the fish did get away, but he wasn't that BIG :)
