A Study in White

Here is a selection of White Egrets – Snowy and Great Egrets. They were roosting in the trees near the end of the day. It was getting dark and was cloudy, in some ways it was easier to get good exposures of the white birds, without the bright sun, but I had to raise my ISO higher than I usually use. They seemed somewhat territorial when another got too close. It was fun to watch and hear them interacting with each other.
