20181001 6166 Great Egret.jpg

Ottawa West

A few postings back, several comments mentioned the presence of white feathers scattered at random in the water. Presently, you can see a wide band of white feathers along the shore. These are, I believe, mostly from the thousands of Canada Geese that continue to visit these ponds, usually after feeding in the cornfields nearby. Note the damaged beak of the Egret walking along the shore.

That is quite the band of feathers! The poor egret does have a deformed or damaged bill, as you mention. Wonder what happened. I hope it doesn't prevent it from feeding. At any rate, the shot is gorgeous.

Excellent capture of this puffed up egret, and I must say, that's a lot of feathers!

Interesting information. I wonder how the beak got damaged. This guy is really fluffing himself out! Nice catch.
