GREAT EGRET February 8, 2021 by belindagroverphotography 25 Comments We usually see a few Great Egrets at the reserve every summer. When they’re not fishing the waters we often see them preening. This one was doing just that on the remains of an old tree. Like this:Like Loading...

I like how the main limbs echo the curves of the egret’s neck! Nice composition!

One bird I wish we had around here… it’s a beauty. We have to be content with the occasional Great Blue Heron. 😉

We don’t see them in great numbers, so it’s always nice when we do!

I’ve always felt that egrets were the angels of the bird family. They look so pure and graceful.

It’s fascinating to see how agile and precise the long-necked birds can be when they put their minds to these delicate tasks.

What a delightful photograph! I love pictures that show the subject ‘doing’ something. This one looks very elegant whilst preening.
