Great White Egret Shake 2

"Great White Egret Shake 2" by Patti Deters. In the spring, Great White Egrets (Ardea alba egretta) grow fantastic plumage and display bright neon green eye color during courtship, mating, and nesting. The long, thin, and feathery breeding plumage are called aigrettes which grows from the back, and part of the skin on its face turns bright green which give these birds a beautiful fairy tale look. It’s the aigrettes that almost caused these water birds to become extinct in the late nineteenth century because they were hunted for fashion hat decorations - which in turn sparked conservation efforts and some early laws to protect these wild avian waterfowl, also known as white herons or American herons. After a good shake, you can actually see some of the white down floating away in the wind. This beautiful white bird was photographed in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
