Snowy Egret.

I got several photos of this bird at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana. In this photo, the egret is just raising its head out of the water after striking at some prey.

"The Egret is Athena’s messenger: The Goddess of Wisdom. People would interpret its crackling shriek as an omen that the Goddess was watching over someone, sailors in particular." - whatismyspiritanimal.com
