White Egret Plumage - a photo on Flickriver

"White Egret Plumage" by Patti Deters. A majestic Great Egret (Ardea alba) stands like a silent sentinel, head turned in profile. The white breeding plumage contrasts beautifully against the dark background as the low sun provides soft backlighting. The egret remains motionless, its eyes alert. The only movement are the delicate, feathery plumes, known as aigrettes, as they are gently ruffled by a breeze. It is a moment of perfect stillness, a testament to the patience and grace of this magnificent bird. Thank you for viewing this image.
