I agree (nor did I know) that it is quite amazing that they become their regal white in adulthood. Nice of Mom Nature to provide such protective camouflage for a time. Beautiful shot, Chip. Such graceful flight.

Nature sure is amazing, isn't it? The brown slowly fades away as they grow, its seems. Thanks for commenting, Linda.
