bird photography : snowy egret
$caption = "John saw this Snowy Egret while walking along the harbor's edge outside his hotel room on Mission Bay in San Diego. Though John was a bit too close to get a full-body shot of the egret, he still managed to capture quite an interesting shot of the bird's 'hairdo.'";
