Hungry Great Egret

It’s always a pleasure to capture an Egret but to catch one with a fish is a bonus. We took this photo of the Great Egret at Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary. Located at the north end of Humboldt Bay, the sanctuary is situated along the Pacific Flyway, a major migratory route for thousands of birds that breed in the far north and winter in California, Mexico, and Central and South America. These wetlands provide homes and migratory resting places for over 270 species of birds.
