Barry Weiss was near Casper when he spotted this Snowy Egret striding along in a lagoon, with its reflection in the water.

Here it looks like the Snowy Egret spotted something tasty for dinner. These egrets have black bills.

They are an uncommon sighting on the Mendonoma coast. Great Egrets, on the other hand, are frequently seen here.

There is a third photo by Barry, which will be in my Mendonoma Sightings column tomorrow in Independent Coast Observer. Thanks to Barry for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
