This captivating photograph captures a truly memorable interaction at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Florida. While exploring the refuge, I was fortunate enough to witness this striking scene: a magnificent Great Blue Heron, wings dramatically spread, positioned amidst a group of elegant Snowy Egrets. The turquoise water of the refuge provides a stunning backdrop to this unique gathering of wading birds. This print is a personal favorite, encapsulating the vibrant and often surprising wildlife encounters that make Ding Darling so special.
