Description
A tall, stately white wader of quiet waters. Common, especially in the south, it may wander far to the north in late summer. Nearly wiped out in the United States in the late 1800s, when its plumes were sought for use in fashion, the Great Egret made a comeback after early conservationists put a stop to the slaughter and protected its colonies; as a result, this bird became the symbol of the National Audubon Society. This was taken in my back yard. Probably looking for a handout. Had I had some fish I am sure I could have offered visitations rights!!! Love most of the wildlife that saunters into my neighborhood here in Florida
