Waiting patiently, both us, and this Snowy Egret. While the Egret is waiting for a meal we are awaiting the true arrival of spring. An unseasonable cold snap we are having brings to mind the T-Bone Walker classic “Stormy Monday” just substituting snowy for stormy on this particular day. Each spring is different and this one is no exception.
Happy Monday and hope your week is off to a great start.

This doesn’t look much like an Egret without the long neck, but I am no expert. There are many kinds. I haven’t seen one yet here in Minnesota. It’s still cold yet. Thanks.

Hi Stephen, it is indeed an Egret but with their neck not stretched out but in an S-shape hunting for a meal. Have you had a colder than normal spring in Minnesota this year. Spring seems to be on hold here as well.
