It's #FlyDay. This is the last image I have from this series of snowy #egrets landing on and taking off from this old snag. It was overcast and difficult to get usable images. Processing was a challenge. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #birds #birdsinflight #HighKey

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #Weather. This great egret was photographed against a darkening sky as storms were moving in along the coast. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #birds #birdsinflight #egrets #Nikon #Z8

A vertical, long-range shot of a Great Egret in mid-flight over Black Rock Harbor in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The egret is captured in profile against a pale, overcast sky, its large wings slightly curved as it glides toward the right. Below the bird, the historic Fayerweather Island Lighthouse stands on a rocky breakwater, accompanied by a sailboat with a tall mast and other small boats anchored in the blue-grey water. The photograph captures a sense of coastal serenity, emphasizing the scale between the lone bird and the local maritime landmarks.

This photo must have been posted before because I could not believe my luck at capturing a large egret in flight and also my favorite lighthouse. The best of both worlds. Seabright Beach & Fayerweather Island lighthouse!

This sheep has picked up a hitchhiker. 👍 😄 At the Geloi Wetlands near Gela, Sicily, there was a troop of 10 Western Cattle Egrets (Ardea ibis) following .. or rather riding along with a big flock of sheep. #BirdingSicily #BirdingItaly #egrets #herons #waders

These great white egrets say they qualify as #LargeBirdsInFlight for Alan’s and Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. #birds #egrets #birdphotography #nature #ECK 🪶

A Great Egret shakes out its feathers, in the process fanning out its plumes.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #RuffledFeathers. This #GreatEgret was shaking out the dander and loose feathers in as magnificent a way as possible.

A snowy egret, with amazingly white long feathers and a crest, red around the beak and orange feet, stands in shallow water and leans forward to drink.

A snowy egret in full breeding regalia, drinking.
Building a nest and saying blablabla to all the pretty snowy girls makes you thirsty.

View of the conifer based rookery high above a local urban lake with numerous great egrets building and hunkered down in nests, with blue sky behind.

A week or so back I posted a shot of a lone egret at the local lake, awaiting friends ... friends have arrived, like the 'angel'. Nest building skills in high demand. Rookery is filling up; if its akin to last year, expect triple this before they start to depart

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AdultsWithChicks — any capture of an Adult with its young.

A large adult white egret stands in a nest, next to her chick which is fairly large at this point. The sun lights their feathers up from behind and the background leaves are all brightly lit as well.

Rob has set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme as #AdulsWithChicks, so here's a pair of egrets I saw out at the Orlando Wetlands at the beginning of the month.

I definitely need to get back out there again soon!

"Little Wishes for Tiny Fishes" This Tricolored heron took a break from foraging to look skyward & perhaps hope for more tiny fishes.
