Great Egrets at Farmington Bay - I.


 

A gloomy morning at Farmington Bay.  A dark stormy sky is so heavy that it looks that it's about to rain.

I came to the bay hoping to see Sandhill Cranes. They're already in Northern Utah. But to my surprise, instead of cranes, I met Great Egrets and spent with them almost two hours.









At the beginning of my adventure, the Farmington Bay struck me with its dark, saturated colors, but after a while it began to change its tones to calmer ones.








Great Egret is fishing.  

Great Egrets hunt in classic Great Blue Heron fashion. They stay motionless for a long time waiting for fish to come to them or wading through a wetland to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill.

Generally life is good!
