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

Great egret, adult with chick in nest.

Great horned owl and owlet sitting side by side in the nest.

Baby alligator sitting on mama's head, looking fierce with a snail on its nose.

Two adult roseate spoonbills sitting in the nest with 3 babies.

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.

It's Grest White Egret mating season and this one is perched against the red water foliage to make sure it can't be missed!

Hit Play to see the beautiful feathers in the wind!

In Florida wetlands in February, behold thousands of blissfully #MarriedCouples engaging in mating rituals, building nests, and incubating eggs. Once those eggs hatch, the bliss is replaced by the need to feed. #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds #egrets

A high-key, dynamic nature photograph of a Snowy Egret captured mid-stride. Through careful editing, the bird’s face, including its dark, focused eye and sharp beak, is now clearly visible, providing an expression of intense concentration. It leans low, its bright white body, luminous with high exposure, creating a sharp silhouette against the shimmering, blue-grey water. The bird is balanced perfectly on a dark, glistening oyster bed (the "ground"), emphasizing its connection to the rugged terrain. This edit prioritizes the bird’s character and successful hunting pose.

"The Snowy Egret is the high-energy specialist of the marsh. It doesn't just wait; it pursues. When it crouches, it is a coiled spring…a white strike of lightning."
— Pete Dunne (paraphrased from The Essential Field Guide Companion)

Great Egret hunting backwaters of the Columbia River, McNary National Wildlife Refuge near Burbank, WA…

Obligatory egrets. 3 snowy, one great. They’re all great, really. #egrets #birds 🪶🪶

This image fits two themes. Today's #BlueskyMonday and the #BirdoftheDay theme of #spash. This great egret fished in the shallows of our local wildlife refuge, successfully I might add. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #birds #egrets #blue #Nikon #Z8

Great Egret behind my home in poor lighting…pneumatized (hollow) bones filled with air sacs make these birds with 6 ft. wingspans weigh about 2lbs…

Good day all. I might have shared this photo before; I have lost track. I got my new lens yesterday, so I am hoping the birds cooperate tomorrow (or maybe later this afternoon).

The sun is setting behind a grove of trees on the edge of a lake. Egrets and Cormorants are using the trees as their roost for the night.
