Description
Fine art wildlife photograph capturing breeding behavior of Great White Herons, AKA Great Egrets (Ardea alba/Casmerodius albus/Egretta alba). This pair of adult egrets, sporting elegant breeding plumage and green lores, have interrupted their nest-building activities to mate high in a cottonwood tree above a creek in Northern California. They will share this riparian rookery with colonies of Great Blue Herons, Double-crested cormorants and Snowy egrets.
This photograph of wild herons mating is being offered in square format.

Kathleen Bishop replied:
Thanks, Hans! I love spending time watching all the action at these rookeries. Everyone is busy nest-building, breeding, brooding eggs and chicks, and bringing in a never-ending supply of prey to feed their young. Lots of drama with territorial disputes as well. Cormorants have nearly taken over what once was primarily a multi-species heron rookery.
