137a Great Egret Ardea alba

The great egrets are the first of many species to arrive at this rookery. The males show up as early a February to get a head start building their nest. Before long, all the good sticks that they find on the ground have been taken. The males become desperate and resort to using totally inappropriate sized (and shaped) sticks.
