Snowy Egret Egretta thula
This egret was very amusing. It's right leg (the lower one in the photo) kept sliding down the slippery pole. It would flap, reposition its foot and reset its balance, and then slowly the foot would slide down again. After about 15 minutes of this the egret decided to move to a less slippery perch.
