The Great Blue Herons have all fledged and have mostly left the rookery area. A few later starting Great Egrets chicks are still around, but they have grown to almost adult size and won’t be around much longer.
This pair looks a little goofy as they look around on a hot day.
Some of the Great Egret chicks are showing a lot of interest in the world beyond their nest and they have spread out into the space vacated by the Great Blue Heron chick.
What a sight in that tree, marvellous😊
They are fun to watch and we’ll miss them until this starts again next year.
They two young ones are quit cute with the little plumes on their head and tree was just large enough for the whole flock. Great photographs Ellen!
Thanks, Greta! They are cute and fun to watch. It was amazing how many egrets could fit in that tree!
The expressions on the pair are priceless. Great shot. What type lens are you using?
Can’t help keep taking their picture! Thanks, Gina. It’s a Canon, 100-400 mm, the first version.
