Description

Great Egret Just Strutting Impressionism 1. Photograph with impression finish.

We live about 15 miles from the pacific coast (Orange County, CA), but do have Irvine Lake and Peters Canyon (wildlife ecological areas) nearby. In the Spring of 2015, this Great Egret landed on a neighbor's yard, and I tracked it for about 2 hours while it casually and cautiously foraged for food. At first, I could not figure out what he was doing. But eventually he started catching western fence lizards and alligator lizards. I am used to seeing these shore birds at the water catching fish.

Some of the photos in this Gallery are closeups of him catching/feeding lizards.

The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans. They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill. Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds.

My Gallery of Shore Birds contains Snowy Egrets as well. They have a black beak and yellow feet, whereas the Great Egret has a yellow beak and black feet as seen here.
