A pair of white birds with bright coral orange beaks and orange crests are displaying together on a green tree in a spot of sunlight. Long white plumes "fluff" off their bodies in all directions. This is a pair of Western Cattle Egrets in full breeding plumage. Their pair bond display of togetherness is important because this rookery hosted dozens of pairs with many active nests.

Poised for the Catch

This snowy egret (Egretta thula) was hunting in a tidal pool in Gulfport, Mississippi, just as it struck at something beneath the water. I especially love how the image captures the suspended water droplets from the splash, along with their shimmering reflections on the surface.

"The image captures a snowy egret in the midst of a hunt, poised with breathtaking elegance. Its slender, pure white body contrasts sharply against the dark, rippling water, each feather appearing crisp and delicate. The egret’s long, black legs barely disturb the surface as it moves with calculated precision, one foot raised mid-step. Its brilliant yellow feet, like golden lanterns beneath the water, are splayed slightly—perhaps stirring up small prey. The egret’s sharp, black beak is angled forward, eyes locked onto the water below, displaying intense focus. The soft reflection of the bird dances across the water’s surface, subtly distorted by gentle waves. The background is a muted blur, suggesting reeds and marshland, reinforcing the serene yet vital nature of the egret’s pursuit." - Copilot

Peaceful Reflection

This is one of my early images, and I was immediately drawn to the ripples and the reflection. There’s a painterly quality to it that I truly appreciate. I captured it in Georgia at a small, hidden pond tucked away across from our hotel. It was near dusk—quiet and serene, despite being on the edge of the city. Oh, and the subject? A great egret (Ardea alba), standing in perfect harmony with its surroundings.

"The image captures a great egret standing in a natural setting, exuding elegance with its long, slender neck and pristine white plumage. Its sharp yellow beak contrasts strikingly against its snowy feathers, poised in a moment of quiet observation. The egret’s black legs and feet blend subtly with the earthy tones of the ground, adding to the balance of the composition. Soft shadows and warm lighting highlight the graceful contours of its body, emphasizing the delicate curve of its neck. The background features blurred vegetation, suggesting a marshy or lakeside habitat, further reinforcing the tranquil and reflective mood of the scene." - Copilot

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have Egrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions, and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my Egrets is understand them.

🌏 White-faced heron (Egretta novaehollandiae)

The white-faced heron (Egretta novaehollandiae), also known as the white-fronted heron, is a medium-sized heron with a distinct white face and pale blue-grey plumage. It has a long, slender neck, a pointed grey-black bill, and yellow legs. In flight, its dark wing feathers contrast with its paler body. This adaptable bird is widespread throughout most of Australasia, including New Guinea, Indonesia, New Caledonia, and New Zealand, favouring any habitat near shallow water, both fresh and saltwater. White-faced herons are often seen foraging solitarily or in small groups, employing methods like stalking or standing still to catch fish, insects, and amphibians. They have a slow, bouncing flight and may roost in trees or on the ground. Their calls include a harsh croak, especially during flight.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Binocular vision gauging the distance before it strikes.

A wildlife rescue worker once told me of wading #birds...

1) Their necks are longer than your arm,

2) They are faster than you are, and...

3) They go for the eyes.

No mistake, Great #Egrets are top #predators! [Edited spelling error.]

Tall, slender, white bird wades in murky edges of a pond, hunting for a snack.

🐊 mark my words ... this Egret will most certainly Regret buddying up to this shady character 🤭

Small white bird approaches a large juvenile alligator nestled in tall grass next to a rainwater collection pond. Dark brown/green coloring, with heavily armored skin, big beady eyes, and a huge snout.

A stray egret is wandering alone in our neighborhood. We can’t tell if he’s lost or the scout for his flock. Egrets migrate through Palm Springs every year. I tried to bring him a bowl of water and he flew away. I hope he finds his way… 😢🤍 #egrets #greategret #palmsprings
