Great Egret Flyby
This Great Egret flew across the lake at Orlando Wetlands, Florida. It was beginning nest building, and flew to another area for twigs and branches for the nest.
This egret is transitioning to breeding plumage/color. It will remain white, but its bill will become more orange and its facial skin will become greenish. It has already begun developing long plumes trailing alongside its black legs
