Blustery bridge bird blip

Spent some time at the marsh this morning with my friend M, who was reluctantly celebrating his 33rd birthday. This was one of two Snowy Egrets perched on a bridge over a small slough--the wind provided many a stylish feather 'do for them. A short series of fun shots begins here on Flickr.

This is my fourth blip of Egretta thula. The first three:
(1) my seventh blip ever,
(2) another wind-carved pose,
(3) sunset ballerina of this past September
