Description
This egret landed on this rail about 20 feet in front of me just long enough to turn around and fly away again. This was the only picture I could shoot before he was gone again.
The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It breeds in colonies in trees close to large lakes with reed beds or other extensive wetlands. It builds a bulky stick nest.
