Bird Island, Coffee Pot Bayou: Easter Sunday




Reddish Egret





The most endangered egret





In breeding plumage with the two-toned bill.






Such an elegant-looking bird





Cattle Egret





It is estimated that these birds are able to gather 50% more food and use only 2/3s as much energy when they feed in association with livestock (following cows, horses, buffalo, tractors, elephants, etc) as opposed to feeding alone.







With nesting material







Great Blue Heron coming in to its nest where the mate awaits
