Almost springtime at Travis AFB

A great egret makes its way along the edge of the duck pond, Feb. 15, 2020 at Travis Air Force Base, California. Great egrets wade in shallow water to hunt fish, frogs and other small aquatic animals. They typically stand still and watch for unsuspecting prey to pass.
