Snowy Egrets Mating !!

A few days ago, I reported that the snowies have started with their nest building activity. Well today, I was very excited when I caught in camera, a pair of snowy egrets mating at the Palo Alto rookery. Unlike the Avocets, there was no pre-copulation display or ritual, they just get it done quickly and it was over in 10 seconds. My camera went click, click, click.. as fast as it could :)

Here are the pictures.








and the happy couple :)
