Abstract

We observed five Snowy Egrets (Egretta thula) on 23 October 2005 swimming and feeding in a small constructed wetland in Boca Raton, Florida. This event occurred 5–10 m from the shoreline in water >1 m in depth over a 2-hr period. We provide the first detailed account of swimming feeding behavior for Snowy Egrets. Elevated numbers of prey fishes at the surface of the pond may have facilitated this previously undocumented feeding behavior of Snowy Egrets.
