Great Egrets in Juarez Park

2015 SMA Great Egrets

A long time ago people cut the tops of the trees in Juarez Park to try and keep the egrets away.  But now, the trees have grown back and great egrets are coming back to nest and roost.  While they were gone, they went to another town near SMA.  I am happy they are coming back to SMA.  I love how this picture shows the male egret puffing out his feathers to try and get a mate.

    I have never seen a Great Egret puff out like that! Thanks for sharing this, Silas.
