Egret Chick in Nest with Parent BW - a photo on Flickriver

"Egret Chick in Nest with Parent BW" by Patti Deters. A juvenile Great White Egret (Ardea alba) is safe in her nest and protected by her adult parent. Egrets are long-legged water birds, and are members of the heron family. This young bird is the only one in her nest – most clutches have 3-4 eggs, but not al always hatch or survive. The parent egret is actually preening her feathers, but the overhead wing makes it appear as if she is protecting her baby juvenile from, perhaps, the sun or overhead prey. This photograph has been rendered as black and white (bw) for artistic effect.
