Deep in a palm tree, this Snowy Egret shakes out his delicate breeding plumes in a classic courtship display. Those lacy feathers, known as aigrettes, shimmer and sway as he fluffs, bows, and shows off for a potential mate. Courtship season turns the wetlands into a stage for performance art, and every beautiful bird and photographer takes notice. Filmed with my Nikon Z8, 600mm f/4 TC lens, slow motion video. #snowyegret #floridawildlife #nikonambassador #nikonz8 #naturelovers | Deborah Sandidge
