Mississippi River Lock & Dam 13 Greeting Card IMG_0482

A great egret (Ardea alba) explodes into flight from the riverbank grasses at Mississippi River Lock & Dam 13 in Fulton, Illinois — wings thrown wide, feathers backlit, legs trailing as the bird launches skyward over the rippling river. A split-second of pure grace and power, frozen in time.
