Springtime for Egrets - a photo on Flickriver

"Springtime for Egrets" by Patti Deters. A proud Great Egret (Ardea alba) parent guards her little family clutch of three baby chicks as they move about their nest, perhaps waiting for the other parent to bring home some food. Nestled in among bright spring colored green leaves, the nest consists of sticks and twigs and tree small branches. Nests can be formed either in the tops of trees or on the ground. The Great Egret is the largest of the wading birds in the world, and is also sometimes called common egret, white egret, or even white heron. These birds were seen in Fergus Falls, Minnesota at GPS 46°16'34.4644N, 96°3'45.6361W.
