Description
Great Egret Minimalism I. Photograph of a Great White Egret in-flight with food. Taken on an overcast day at the Santa Ana birding ground located in Orange County, California at Santa Ana Lakes. A fishing shack provides scrapes of fish food for the birds as well as fishermen.
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.
