Ardea alba
This great egret is a beauty with its long wispy breeding plumes and gorgeous green facial skin.
You’ll find Great Egrets in both freshwater and saltwater habitats. They are colonial nesters, typically placing stick nests high in trees, often on islands that are isolated from mammalian predators such as raccoons.
