Description
"Great White Egret Feathers I" by Patti Deters. In the spring, Great White Egrets (Ardea alba egretta) grow fantastic plumage and display bright neon green eye color during courtship, mating, and nesting season. The long, thin, and feathery breeding plumage are called aigrettes which grows from the back, and part of the skin on its face turns bright green which give these birds a beautiful fairy tale look. It’s the aigrettes that almost caused these water birds to become extinct in the late nineteenth century because they were hunted for fashion hat decorations - which in turn sparked conservation efforts and some early laws to protect these wild avian waterfowl, also known as white herons or American herons. This beautiful white bird was photographed in Fergus Falls, Minnesota on a very windy day! This is one of three images also available in a pre-formatted triptych that you can find at the link below.
