The Elegance of the Egret

Photograph by Howard Williams , National Geographic Your Shot

"I was driving through the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey on a foggy morning and noticed this egret in the water, hunting," writes Howard Williams , a member of National Geographic Your Shot. "The water was so still it was like a mirror, and there was just enough light to see it."
