Great egret.jpg

The great egrets do not regularly breed anywhere in Alberta yet last year at Big lake was the first ever recorded nesting. It appears they have come back and hopefully nest again.They are seldom seen in Alberta. I am lucky enough to get a few shots.

Wonderfully graceful and beautiful bird. Perhaps they are moving north due to global warming. We are seeing black-bellied whistling ducks in central Texas that used to stay around the Gulf of Mexico and coasts of Mexico. Big vote.

Really awesome flight shot Peter. Not bad for only getting a few birds a year. I hope they continue to nest every year.
