After catching a fish, this egret was chased by nasty crows who tried to steal the fish! The egret would not give it up, but instead ruffled its feathers and shook off those crows. They finally few away and the egret gulped down the fish.
Zest has to do with spirit and enjoyment and gusto. I'd say this is one zesty egret!

Ah, zesty and beautiful and with a full tummy!!! Nothing better!! Terrific capture, Lowell!! Definitely the right place at the right moment!!
I've never seen an egret looking so ruffled, Lowell! Wonderful post for the theme.
With gusto! Way to go egret!
This is wonderful!! Though the poor egret looks rather funny, he probably doesn't care so long as he still has his fish supper.
He looks fierce!
This is quite a nice capture, Lowell. Such a tasty-looking fish.
This is a brilliant capture!!
Great take on the subject. He is all ruffled with zest. MB
Nice choice for theme day.
We have broad views of birds in both our front and our back yards. All the bird drama this spring has been around the bigger birds trying to get away from the little ones who chase them away from the nests and food they stalk. I must have seen at least 6-8 little guys harassing a harrier this evening. None of them have an easy time of it...
Must have been a hungry bird!
This brave egret really deserves that fish...
What a capture! What a timing! Fantastic, Lowell.
Ha! I don't think I have ever seen an egret with its feathers all over the place like that!
You got a nice shot there with the ruffled feathers and the fish before it got eaten. Zesty!
Yep, he is zesty alright! What a great shot of one of my favorite birds.
Ruffled with zest or?
Good catch to both of you. LOL

What a great shot of his bird. I'd say you are correct, that is one zesty bird.
Fun interpretation and photo for today's theme, Lowell!
He's very zesty looking to me! Love the way his feathers are all fanned out. :)
There lots of enthusiasm encountered here... that be zest!
Zesty and feisty -- and very pretty (and fortunately well-fed).
Perfect! Not a good idea to ruffle and egret's feathers.
Fabulous shot and I would have to say that egret is a happy chap and zesty too!
Gosh its bird eat fish out there hey Lowell.. happy to hear the egret put up a zesty fight for his grub :)
Like a ballerina!:)
