Crazy Bird...or not! Just a snowy egret in breeding plumage! This is a frontal view of a Snowy showing off his or her fancy feathers. The skin on their faces turn from yellow to a reddish color during the breeding season. The males find the nesting site, then performs a dance to attract a female mate by pumping his body up and down, then pointing his beak straight up into the air. They are a delight to watch on the nest.
