Two photographs of Great Egrets I shot last week while in the local rookery.

The first was taken as the Egret passed by closer to the far side of the open water. It was also taken a little wide to include the greenery all around. Including some of the wider Palmetto branches I can get a ‘jungle’ look. At least that’s what I call it.

The second photo is of an adult with the bright green mating color on the lore around the eyes. This fades as soon as the spring is over.
