Great Egret Preening

I watched this great egret preen for a few hours today. I swear, I can get ready for work in a fraction of the time this one took today!

Did you know that the Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society? It is one of the oldest environmental organizations in North America. and was founded to protect birds from being killed for their feathers.
