The snowy egrets at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge are stunningly beautiful. They're not particularly afraid of humans either, which (combined with their predilection for moving very slowly to catch prey) makes them great subjects for me to practice with my camera.
This poor bird was trying to get away from us but kept flying just ahead of where we were headed. I love the shapes their wings make when they fly.
I don't know for certain if this is the same snowy egret I photographed in this location on my last visit, but I'd like to think it is. The fluffy feathers photographed really well, even with the wind. In the last photo, you can see the egret is eating something (a small fish?).
This is my favorite photo of the day, I think:
