Description

SNOWY EGRET WALKING ON BEACH by Pamela Williams

Egrets are symbolic of purity, strength, balance, concentration, longevity, and piety. Because they tend to enjoy solitude, their spirit also represents freedom and independence. Photographed near Madeira Beach, Florida

Among the most elegant of the herons, the slender Snowy Egret sets off immaculate white plumage with black legs and brilliant yellow feet. Those feet seem to play a role in stirring up or herding small aquatic animals as the egret forages. Breeding Snowy Egrets grow filmy, curving plumes that once fetched astronomical prices in the fashion industry, endangering the species. In 1886 these plumes were valued at $32 per ounce, which was twice the price of gold at the time. Early conservationists rallied to protect egrets by the early twentieth century, and this species is once again a common sight in shallow coastal wetlands.

Capturing moments in time is a passion, Sharing those moments with others is a pure joy! Thank you for joining Pamela's photographic journey and remember to share the adventure with your friends and family........your kindness will be forever appreciated! #sharepamsart
