Great Egret, preening
Mate returning to its nest
On its nest
Great Egrets with chicks in the foreground and young Roseate Spoonbills in the background.
Two chicks
Great Blue Heron, preening as two young Roseate Spoonbills look on.
Preening
One of the pair gently touches its mate (we watched this sequence repeated numerous times)
Snowy Egret
In breeding plumage with beautiful aigrettes and red lores
It’s no wonder these feathers were so valuable back in the day (almost leading to the extinction of many species of waterbirds) to be used to adorn lady’s hats.
Gee. Ya think?!
