Speaking of the Snowy Egret

Three white Water birds, all in a row.

Sounds like the start of a little poem but I am terrible at rhymes so will quite while ahead.

Just yesterday I had talked about not seeing a Snowy Egret this year, and today, I stopped at a park I haven't birded in here in Dunedin and saw my first Blue Jay for Florida this year, and across the street in the bay, my first Red-breasted Merganser, a female, and finally a Snowy Egret feeding with a Great Egret and White Ibis.  You certainly get a sense of how small the Snowy is next to the Great Egret.  I don't think I had ever seen them together like that, so it was a nice surprise.  A pair of Osprey were not a surprise at all.
