Description
A tall, stately white wader of quiet waters. Common, especially in the south, it may wander far to the north in late summer. Nearly wiped out in the United States in the late 1800s, when its plumes were sought for use in fashion, the Great Egret made a comeback after early conservationists put a stop to the slaughter and protected its colonies; as a result, this bird became the symbol of the National Audubon Society. It forages mostly by standing or walking in shallow water, waiting for fish to come near, then catching them with rapid thrust of bill. This Great Egret was captured in the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary east of Niles, Florida.
