Great Egret preparing to consume the unfortunate tiny fish the bird is holding in his or her beak.

Given how the #GreatEgrets chase each other off, it would seem my little lakes capacity is 1 GREG.

Seven large white birds at a marsh conservancy. They are wading in the distance.
The Great Egrets at the conservancy kept their distance this past weekend. They never came close for three hours. There were at least twelve great egrets that day. I did take some of that time to explore the grounds around my viewing spot. It was a great day in nature.

Because I rarely see a flock of great egrets, I thought you might want to see it, too.

Three great egrets stand tall in a marsh among green reeds, their elegant white forms mirrored in the calm water below. Three white guardians of the shore, Reflections doubled, even more, Patience written evermore.
Three great egrets gather in quiet harmony at the marsh’s edge, their reflections glowing softly in the still water.
“Grace multiplies when reflected in stillness.”

"A flock of egrets—likely Great Egrets (Ardea alba)—is captured in stark silhouette, gliding across a dark, cloud-heavy sky. The birds appear as black cutouts against the muted gray backdrop, their long necks folded into soft “S” curves, heads tucked close to their bodies in classic flight posture. Wings are fully extended, wide and angular, each bird frozen mid-beat with a sense of quiet coordination. The silhouettes vary slightly in position—some higher, some trailing—but all move in the same direction, like a procession of shadows threading through the atmosphere. The sky itself is textured with layered clouds, heavy and dim, offering no sunlight to illuminate plumage or detail. Instead, the contrast between bird and sky becomes the story: motion reduced to form, presence distilled into outline. The mood is somber and cinematic. The flock feels distant yet deliberate, like a quiet migration unfolding above a world not quite ready to notice." - Copilot
