A Great Egret amidst marsh grass in the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in western Washington State,. The big white wading bird is stalking through the tall grass, hunting for a mid-morning snack. In its sharp yellow beak, it has a small creature, perhaps a dragonfly or tadpole, that it has just snatched from the water. In another few seconds, it will swallow its tiny prey and resume the hunt.
