The Meme for Birders – go visit!
My bird today is one of my favorites – and probably the one I do have the most images of.
the Great White Egret
, here shown as a proud parent with two chicks.









I am glad to see that the master of bird photography is participating in BPW. After buying a 400mm and slogging through the tropics, failing miserably, I have such new found respect for your work. Maestro!

What a perfect picture. I love the chicks. Especially with that little crest sticking up. A little disheveled looking.

Beautiful? Awesome? Fantastic? Are there enough superlatives to describe how good this photo is? Love it! If I were a bird I would want you to photograph me!

Wonderful shot!! They’re such beautiful birds with their snowy whiteness. The egret has become one of my favorites as well.

Great, great photo. They aren’t exactly “little” baby birds, but they are still cute. And egrets are always lovely.

That’s awesome that you are able to live near a nesting colony. It would be fun to be able to capture great Moments of this beautiful bird. I tend to see them when I visit my parents in the Bay Area of California. But I never have seen one yet roosting in a tree. Excellent photograph.

That’s a great photo. I wonder what the parent bird was watching with its head up like that?
