Description
EGRET by Pamela Williams
“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all." ~ Emily Dickinson
This image of the Great Egret was photographed in Winter Garden, Florida summer 2013.
The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans. They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill. Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds.
