I had to work really hard to get this image. After asking for permission to take captures I was offered to take the lift to the 6th floor. Which means I climbed another 16 stories to get the full top-down view 😄

The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetlands. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans.

 

They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill.

 

Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds. The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, one of the oldest environmental organizations in North America. Audubon was founded to protect birds from being killed for their feathers.

 

Not all young that hatch survive the nestling period. Aggression among nestlings is common and large chicks frequently kill their smaller siblings. This behavior, known as siblicide, is not uncommon among birds such as hawks, owls, and herons, and is often a result of poor breeding conditions in a given year.

 

Great Egrets fly slowly but powerfully: with just two wing-beats per second their cruising speed is around 25 miles an hour.

 

The oldest known Great Egret was 22 years, 10 months old and was banded in Ohio.

Where you come from is irrelevant. What matters is where you are going...

4me everyday is a celebration : )

Zufällig traf den Kopf dieses Marienkäfers kurz vor dem Auslösen ein dicker Wassertropfen. Es dauerte eine Weile, bis der kleine Kerl den Kopf wieder frei hatte.

 

Coincidentally, a thick drop of water hit the head of this ladybug just before it was triggered. It took the little guy a while to clear his head again.
