While nonchalantly standing on one very long leg, balanced on the bed of kelp, this Great White Egret would stab his beak into the water for a fish, seemingly whenever it suited him.  It was a rare display of elegance and skill, like few I have seen before.

Here he is coming in to land seconds earlier:

At China Beach, Point Lobos, CA.
