Now that the winter rains have begun and water is available, one of the main 
pools at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge is being flooded for 
wintering waterfowl.  The rising water level is driving terrestrial prey to 
higher ground and a flock of Cattle Egrets is taking advantage of the easy 
pickings (more photos to come).

I welcome suggestions for cropping this photo: ordinarily I don't crop 
skinnier than 2:3 proportions but I will if the photo news it.  What say 
you?  Crop more from the top?
